Signs of a Bedbug problem
Bed Bugs are naturally attracted to humans because of our body heat and carbon dioxide. Common signs of Bedbug trouble are often physical. These include:
- Mottled shells, shed by the Bedbugs
- Any blood spots on bed sheets where a bedbug has been squashed during your sleep
- Small black faecal matter
- Prolonged exposure to being bitten could lead to a rash
Problems associated with Bedbugs
Although Bedbugs have not been proven to transmit any disease, the main problems associated with Bedbugs are:
- Epidemic
Bedbugs constantly lay eggs; a mother has the ability to lay up to 500 eggs in a two month period, meaning your problem could soon be epidemic. - Contagious
Bedbugs can be easily moved to a completely new site via clothes or luggage - Durable
A bedbug could feasibly go a whole year without feeding.
