Do I Have Bed Bugs?
Finding dark spots on your bedding from blood or bed bug feces is one of the main signs of bed bugs. Bites on your skin and foul, musty smells are two more common signs of bed bug activity.ย There are several more signs of bed bugs:

Signs Of Active Bed Bugs
The most noticeable signs of bed bugs are bites on your skin. Some people donโt experience symptoms from bed bug bites, but many others find itchy, red bumps aligned in zig zags on their skin after bed bugs find them at night. Bed bug skins and their eggs are also a sure sign that bed bugs are reproducing inside your home. Their feces will leave dark spots anywhere that they are active, which is commonly your bedding or furniture. Finding blood spots on bedding is a common occurrence, too!
