So how do you know if you have bed bugs. You can look for signs of their activity in two ways. They may leave small reddish to pale brown stains which is the residue of their faeces combined with blood spots as a result of their feeding.

The most obvious way of noticing bed bug activity is the results of their biting. The bites that result may appear in welts and bumps that are red, inflamed and itchy though some people show no sign of bed bug bites they have received.

The actual bites are not usually painful and most people will not be disturbed from their sleep by the bites. The itchy red bitemarks on the skin are good evidence of the existance of bedbug and further investigation is essential. The bugs are not likely to go away without treatment which will usually have to be from a suitably qualified and experienced pest controller.

Here is a picture of someone who experienced bed bug bites which shows a good example of the resulting marks on the skin.
