Common Signs That Your Home Is Infested With Bed Bugs



Did you know that there is about a 90% probability for a famous hotel, either a presidential or suite room in a luxury hotel to have bed bugs? Even your most liked hotel could have these pests without you knowing it. Now, you might be wondering if your hotel has bed bugs or not. Assuming that your favorite hotel has it, what could you do to make sure that your home doesn’t get infested once you come back home?

The common signs and symptoms of Bed Bug Infestation

Bed Bug Rash

Itching is one of the most common signs. The rash starts with an itchy sensation and it won’t be visible until you begin feeling the itch. Once you get bitten by a bed bug in Myrtle Beach, you can feel its sting and the sucking of the blood. However, if the bed bugs bite, the itch could be felt only after a period of time, like at least one hour. This is due to the anaesthetics that the saliva of the bed bugs has. They inject anaesthetics and anticoagulants, to stop blood from clotting before the bed bug sucks your blood.

Bed bug rash could be felt an hour after the bite. However, in some cases, the rash will only appear a few days or about a couple of weeks later. This will be determined by the response of the body to the chemicals that are secreted by the bugs.

How would you know if the rash is because of a bed bug? It starts with a small, red, and round bump that appears much more swollen compared to a mosquito rash. At first, only a swollen bump could be seen. After some time, the rash will spread all over. This means that several bed bugs have started to bite you. However, in some cases, the rash may appear similar to a bit mark in sequence. This is obvious in people who are always moving when they are sleeping. When the bed bugs notice the constant movement around them, they instantly run back to the places where they hide.

If you suspect that you have a bed bug rash, be sure to check it for a few days. The rash will cause extended itching for several days together. Additionally, a bed bug rash does not heal as fast as mosquito bites. They remain inflamed for several weeks together. You should also hire the help of reliable pest control in Myrtle Beach.

Bed Bug Odor

Bed bug odor is another common indicator that you have a bed bug problem and it needs immediate pest control. If your home only has a minimal pest infestation, the odor won’t be that noticeable. But if there’s a lot of them, you will notice a musty, obnoxious, and sweet-smelling stench, which is released by the bed bugs. You may find this smell under the mattresses or the headboard.
