Signs of a bed bug infestation usually start with bite marks appearing on the face, neck, arms, hands and other body parts. Additional signs of bed bugs may include the exoskeletons of bed bugs after molting, bed bugs in the fold of mattresses and sheets, a sweet musty odor, and rusty-colored blood spots from their blood-filled fecal material that is often excreted on the mattress or nearby furniture.

• Visually inspecting the primary hiding places of bed bugs.
• Using a bed bug certified mattress and box spring encasement for early detection.
• Catching bed bugs in specialty traps and interception devices.
• Hiring bed bug canine scent detection dogs handled by a pest management professional.
• Using a professional bed bug active monitoring device.

Bed bugs are an �equal opportunity infester�.  They do not discriminate between properties based upon location, type, or quality. Due simply to their nature, logistics, and other factors, every lodging location and multi-family property is subject to bed bug infestation.
