Bed Bug Prevention & Guide
Bed bugs are small, sneaky pests that feed on human blood—usually while we’re asleep. While they don’t spread disease, their bites can cause itching, discomfort, and stress. Once inside a home or business, they’re incredibly difficult to get rid of without professional help. Here's what to know, how to spot them, and what you can do to prevent an infestation.
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
-
Small, red bites on your skin—especially in lines or groups
-
Tiny rust-colored stains on sheets or pillowcases (from crushed bugs or droppings)
-
Shed skins or empty shells
-
Live bed bugs hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, or furniture joints
-
A musty, sweet odor in heavy infestations
-
Even clean homes and hotels can get bed bugs—they spread easily through travel, used furniture, or close contact between units (like in apartments).
Prevention Tips
-
Avoid bringing used mattresses or furniture into your home unless inspected
-
When traveling, check hotel mattresses and headboards for signs of bugs
-
Keep your luggage off the floor and bed—use a luggage rack
-
After a trip, inspect and wash clothing in hot water and dry on high heat
-
Seal cracks and crevices in your home, especially around baseboards and furniture
What to do if you suspect bed bugs
