Bed bugs are small insects, about 1/4 inches in diameter with brown bodies and darker heads. These pests feed on the blood of humans and animals. Often, people have bed bugs and don’t even know it. Since these insects are so small, it’s common for people to blame the itching, allergies, sleeping problems, and other effects on something else. However, if you know how to identify—and prevent—them, you can reduce the chance of bed bugs entering your home.

Even though bed bugs are tiny, the easiest way to detect them is to know what they look like. Bed bugs have the following characteristics:

Small, about 1/4-inch in both directions
Brown, either dark or light, and they can turn red after biting someone
Small heads with much larger bodies
Eggs that are about 1 millimeter long and pale white
Ridged shells like that of tiny brown beetles
Bed bugs leave blood marks on sheets or cushions
Bed bug bites are grouped in clusters, a line or a zigzag pattern—mosquito bites are different because they usually aren’t grouped together
Shed skins
Bed bugs leave fecal spots on mattresses, sheets, or walls

Pest control experts understand bed bugs as opportunistic travelers. These insects love to take any chance they can to catch a ride into your home or business. The easiest way to protect your workplace or home is to prevent them from catching a ride on your clothing or in your luggage. In addition to coming back with you as you return from a trip, there are other ways bed bugs can try to move into your business or home. Here are some exterminator tips that can help you prevent bed bugs:

When you stay at a hotel, check the luggage rack to see if any bed bugs have made it a temporary home. If the rack has hollow legs, you can take a look inside. You should also check where the supporting straps meet the frame.
Check all the furniture you buy for bed bug signs, especially used items. To properly check, look in the crevices between cushions and along any fluting. Also, check the joints, such as where the back or the legs meet the seat.

Some people are allergic to bed bug bites. If this is the case, you may experience hives. These are red bumps that form on your skin when histamines release in the body. They’re usually itchy and can spread to other parts of your body. Regardless of whether or not you’re allergic to bed bugs, you’ll likely have a reaction if they bite you. Pest control experts explain some ways the bites can affect your skin:

Small, raised bumps that are clear in the middle
Bumps can also be itchy and have darker centers surrounded by lighter swollen areas
Small, red welts or bumps in a zigzag pattern or a relatively straight line
Papular eruptions on the skin that are either painful or inflamed

Also, scratching bites can result in skin problems, including, red skin, scarring, and infection. Often, you can differentiate mosquito bites from those of bed bug bites by examining the bumps and marks left behind. Pest control experts explain if they appear in clusters or in a line, they are most likely bed bug bites. Mosquitos tend to bite once and then fly off. Although bed bugs can also bite just once, they often have to dislodge and crawl to another spot in order to get their fill. This results in groups of bumps or marks.

Usually, the return of bed bugs after treatment means they were brought in from somewhere else. A thorough treatment can eliminate bed bugs from your home or business, but it has no effect on the places you visit. If they’ve crawled back in, it’s likely because they hitched a ride on your clothes or in your luggage. It’s also very important that you don’t remove items from the home or office space before or during a bed bug treatment, because this could lead to reinfestation if those items were unknowingly infested with bed bugs.
