Bed Bug Signs!

July 14, 2017 | Posted In: Bed Bugs

Some common signs of bed bugs include:

  • Pepper-like stains on fabric-covered items
  • Molted bed bug skins
  • The bugs themselves in various life stages
  • White eggs and empty egg casings

All travelers should thoroughly inspect the room for the presence of these bed bug indicators upon arriving at their intended destination. This includes pulling back the bed sheets to examine the mattress seams, checking behind the headboard and looking in furniture crevices. A small flashlight can help aide in this investigation. If a bed bug infestation is suspected, guests should immediately notify management or property owners, and request a new, non-adjacent room.
