You may never see a Bed Bug, but you will see signs of them.
Strange red bites on your arms, legs and torso is a possible sign you have bed bugs, but not everyone reacts to the bites.
The most telling sign you have bed bugs is if you see black spots and smears on the seams of your mattress and on the bottom of your box spring where the staples hold the fabric on.
If you run your fingers along the edges of your mattress, you may feel crunchy bits. That’s the dead bug exoskeleton.
Because bed bugs like wood, you may see signs of them on your headboard and in dresser drawers
