By Aaron Bailey


Bed bugs are itchy, silent predators, and are usually found in beds. You may already have them and you don't even know it. They are very small and difficult to see. The best way to get rid of them is to ask a termite exterminator or pest control company to do it for you.

You may wonder what the signs and symptoms of a bed bug infestation are There are two common signs, and they are the following:

1. Rash From Bed Bugs

Itching is the first sign of a bed bug rash. You won't be able to see the rash at first but it will definitely feel itchy. They are itchier than mosquito bites, and the itch can usually be sensed one hour after the bite. In some cases, the bed bug rash appears only a few days or weeks later.

You can identify a bed bug rash when it has a small, round and red bump that looks more swollen than a mosquito rash. In some cases, the rash looks similar to a bite mark in sequence. If you think you may have bed bug rash, examine it for a few days. The rash causes prolonged itching for days together. A bed bug rash also doesn't heal as quickly as mosquito bites. They remain swollen for weeks at a time.

2. Smell of Bed Bugs

Next thing to look for is bed bug odor. How do bed bugs smell like?

Bed bugs release a musty, obnoxious odor, so a hotel where there's plenty of bed bug infestation smells of it. You may detect this odor under the mattresses and headboard. If your sofas have cracks, check if they've got bed bug odor. They are also sometimes have bed bug infestation.

If your house is are infested with bed bugs, call a pest control company immediately. After, you should create pest control rules at home to prevent it from happening again.
