1.    The Big Sign: You’ve Got Bites Like Chicken Pox

Bed bug bites usually start slow. You’ll get one or two in a night – normally they’re in a straight line. Bites do tend to come in threes, but it can be hard to tell because sometimes you roll during the night, and the bed bug retreats. But if you’re getting new red welts on you every night, pretty soon you’ll look like you’ve got chickenpox. When you get a new bite every night, find a bed bug exterminator.

2.    There’s Blood on Sheets and Pillows

When a bed bug bites you, you might bleed, and this can leave stains on your pillowcases or  sheets. If you’re seeing little blood spots on your sheets, contact a bed bug exterminator.

3.    Do You See a Bunch of Rust-Colored Little Spots?

Another sign is bed bug fecal matter. They evacuate their little bed bug bowels all over your sheets, and these will produce minute brown spots that have a sort of rust color to them.

4.    Look for Shed Skin From the Bed Bugs

Like snakes, bed bugs shed their skin as they grow. This shed know as a carapace will be brown and found in the creases of sheets, mattresses, or other areas of the bed.

5.    If You See One, There are Many

The biggest and most obvious sign you’re dealing with a bed bug infestation is their presence – seeing them. If you see one of these tiny little bugs, there are at least a dozen more you can’t see.
