You wake up with itchy red bites on your arms. A quick check of your mattress reveals tiny dark spots. Your stomach drops. Bed bugs. These pests multiply fast and spread to every room if left unchecked. A single female can lay 200 to 500 eggs in her lifetime. That is why catching a bed bugs infestation early makes all the difference.
Look for small rust-colored spots on your sheets. These are blood stains or droppings. Check mattress seams, box springs, and headboards for shed skins or tiny oval eggs. You might also notice a sweet, musty odor near your bed. Bed bugs are visible to the naked eye. They are brown, oval-shaped, and about the size of an apple pip. In a busy city like Indianapolis or a quiet suburb like Fishers, these signs are easy to miss until the infestation grows. The sooner you spot them, the easier it is to stop a bed bugs infestation from spreading.
Reduce clutter around your bed. Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices. Wash and dry all bedding on high heat. Most residential dryers reach temperatures hot enough to kill bed bugs and their eggs. Use zippered mattress and box spring covers to trap bugs inside and prevent new ones from getting in. Inspect secondhand furniture before bringing it into your home. In communities like Carmel and Noblesville, where secondhand shopping is popular, this step is especially important.
