The following are signs that you may have bed bugs in your home:

• Waking up with itchy red spots you didn’t have when you went to sleep
• Tiny bloodstains on your pillowcases and sheets
• A foul, musty odour on your bedding or around your home
• Rust-coloured or dark spots of bed bug excrement on sheets, bedclothes, mattresses, and walls

Bed bugs are small, brownish, oval insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They may enter your home undetected in clothing, luggage, furniture, and other items. Their small, flat bodies make it possible for them to fit into tiny spaces. They are called bed bugs because they often hide in bed frames, mattresses, headboards, and box springs. However, over time, they may scatter to other areas.

If you suspect you have a bed bug infestation, you should hire a pest control professional. At Phantom Pest Control, we offer eco-friendly pest control solutions to eliminate bed bugs in your home. One of our bed bug detection solutions is K9 bed bug inspection.
