Signs You Have Bed Bugs
It can be challenging to tell when you have bed bugs, and early warning signs are not always easy to detect. Thankfully, some signs can help you identify a bed bug infestation.
Some of the most common signs of bed bug activity include:
- You or your family have been waking up with itchy, round red bites
- A musty smell
- Small “shells” or shed skins of molting bed bugs on your sheets or mattress
- Regular red patches on your skin surface overnight (not everyone reacts to the bites the same way, though many people describe the patches as itchy)
- Small, dark spots on your sheets or mattress
Bed bugs can also often infest areas and items in the home that you may not expect, including books, electronics, picture frames, dressers, and nightstands.
It often requires a professional who is trained to quickly identify bed bug nesting areas before the issue spreads. When we reach the problem early, we only have to treat the area or areas with an actual bed bug issue.

Bed Bug FAQ
Trying to tackle a bed bug infestation on your own can be dangerous and ineffective. Bed bugs are persistent, resilient pests that hide in tight spaces and reproduce quickly. If you do not handle the problem correctly, the infestation could spread and become more severe. Further, suppose you attempt DIY treatments with pesticides or products not specifically designed to treat bed bugs. In that case, you could end up putting your health and your family’s health at risk. Not only can these products be dangerous in an enclosed space, but they are also often ineffective against bed bugs.
We have the tools and knowledge to correctly identify the problem, formulate a treatment plan, and eliminate the issue effectively and safely. Additionally, we educate our customers on preventing bed bugs from returning after they are eradicated. So don’t try to tackle bed bug issues alone—give us a call!
We provide bed bug treatment services to Raleigh, Durham, Fuquay-Varina, and the greater Triangle area.
Bed bugs are challenging to remove once they have set up residence in your home. Even after a thorough treatment, there is always the chance that some bed bug eggs may go undetected and hatch later on, reintroducing the problem. Bed bugs are also good at hiding and can travel quickly between rooms or even dwellings, allowing them to return if not entirely and swiftly eradicated.
Our treatment is comprehensive and effective, and we take steps to ensure that bed bugs do not return; however, it is never a bad idea to work to prevent them. The best way to prevent bed bugs from returning is by proactively using mattress encasements and regularly inspecting areas around baseboards, behind headboards, and other crevices for any bed bugs or eggs. Be sure to vacuum periodically since this can eliminate any bed bugs that may have survived the treatment process. With consistent preventive measures and quick action, you can help ensure that bed bugs will not return after we treat your home.
Bed bugs are not dangerous in terms of transmitting diseases; however, their presence can cause a great deal of discomfort. They feed on human blood and can cause itchy bites that may lead to irritation and inflammation.
While DIY methods may help control bed bugs to some extent, professional help is often necessary for complete eradication. Professionals have the expertise and tools to effectively eliminate bed bug infestations.
Bed bugs can infest various areas in a home or business, not just beds. They can hide in furniture, electronics, picture frames, and even in wall voids. A thorough inspection by professionals can help locate all infested areas.
Bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases to humans. Their bites can cause itching and discomfort, but they are not vectors for diseases. However, their presence can still be a nuisance and affect quality of life.
The duration of a bed bug treatment can vary depending on the extent of the infestation. It may take several hours to treat a single room or multiple treatments over a period of time for severe infestations. Professional exterminators can provide more accurate timelines.
