Bed bugs aren't harmful to us, but they sure are a nuisance. If you've had a bed bug infestation before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. So if you aren't sure whether you have a bed bug infestation, here's the top 5 signs to look for to find out if you do. Number 5 is a sweet, musty smell. This can mean a few different things, but what it normally means is you have some sort of infestation. It's hard to describe, but once you smell it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Number 4, tiny black dots in and around the bed and the bed frame itself. If you see these, this could be things like dirt, but if they're a consistent size, color, then they could be bed bug droppings. If that's the case, then you definitely have a problem. Number 3 is shed skins and shells. Like snakes, these bugs actually shed their skin. So if you see skins that look like bugs around the place, then you definitely have an infestation. Number 2 is blood spots on your sheets. If you wake up in the morning and you have little blood spots on your sheets, What that's an indication of is bed bugs have bitten you during the night, a little bit of blood has come out of that bite, and you've seen it on the sheets in the morning, so you definitely have a problem by this stage. Number 1, the most damning evidence you have of a bed bug infestation is waking up from your night's sleep with bites all over your body. These little bites are often grouped together, little clusters. That can be an indication that a bed bug has had trouble finding a vein. They're very itchy, just like a mosquito bite. They're smaller than a mosquito bite. That's why it's pivotal if you get to this you feel you may have a problem to get a professional in to have an investigation.
