Unexplained Bites
One of the most common ways that people find out they have a bed bug problem is by noticing unexplained bites on their body after waking up. Bed bug bites will often be in a line and cause itching or swelling. If you are starting to find unexplained bites on your body, it’s probably time to start investigating a little further to pinpoint the cause.
Musty Odors
Much like the presence of cockroaches can alter the smell of a given area, bed bugs can secrete a musty odor in the form of pheromones. While they may be hiding, they aren’t capable of masking their own smells to avoid detection. If your room has developed an unexplained musty odor, it could be a sign that bed bugs are present.
Physical Evidence
As bed bugs continue to molt and grow, they will cast off their skins. While they may be able to hide very proficiently, they don’t take the time to remove the evidence of their molting or feces. Look around sleeping quarters for small, rust-colored stains on the sheets or checking the mattress piping to see if any cast skins are there.
