Identifying Bed Bugs

Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed, oval-shaped, and reddish-brown in color. They are nocturnal feeders and typically hide in dark, secluded areas near beds, such as mattresses, box springs, headboards, and furniture cracks.

Here are some signs of bed bugs to watch for:

• Bite marks: Bed bug bites often appear in clusters or straight lines on exposed skin. The bites themselves may be red, itchy welts.
• Bloodstains: Small rusty or reddish spots on bedding or furniture can indicate crushed bed bugs.
• Cast skins: As bed bugs grow, they shed their outer shell, leaving behind translucent skins.
• Live bed bugs: These may be visible on mattresses, furniture, or walls, particularly at night when they come out to feed.

How Bed Bug Infestations Occur

Bed bugs are hitchhikers and can easily travel from place to place on luggage, used furniture, clothing, or even pets. Here are some common ways bed bugs can infest your Little Rock home: 

• Travel: Bed bugs are often picked up in hotels, motels, or vacation rentals.
• Second-hand furniture: Buying used furniture can unknowingly introduce bed bugs into your home.
• Guests: Visitors who have bed bugs in their belongings can unintentionally bring them into your home.
• Apartment buildings: Bed bugs can easily spread between apartments through shared walls and cracks.
