Bed Bugs Symptoms Guide from Allergy Luxe

June 6, 2011 - PRLog -- As bed bugs make their comeback and people become increasingly worried about them, many people wonder if they have an infestation. By knowing these bed bugs symptoms, you can put your fears at ease- or, if you have bed bugs, get treatment.

The first bed bugs symptoms are itchy bug bites very similar to mosquito bites. Have you been getting these bites without spending a lot of time outside, or it seems like there are more every morning when you wake up? They might be bed bug bites. Another thing to look for is bites lined up in a row- unlike mosquitos, who fly away after feeding and will land on a completely different spot if they feed again, bed bugs often move in a line for each successive feeding, which they do without stopping in between. If you have all these signs you might have bed bugs.

Now to be sure of your diagnosis, you must look for the bugs or evidence of the bugs. Pull off your covers and look for tiny dark spots on your bed- these are fecal stains left by bed bugs. Then pull off the bottom sheet and inspect the mattress, especially the seams of the mattress by running your finger along them. You may find more fecal stains, or even the bugs themselves (but they are very good hiders, so don’t count on it). Also check behind your headboard.

If you do have bed bugs, call an exterminator. Don’t leave it to chancy home remedies, and don’t think you can starve them out- they can go for up to a year without eating.
