Infestation Signs
Bedbugs are difficult to catch in the act of feeding; however, they will leave behind signs of their presence. Infestation signs include:
· Blood spots on bedding.
· In heavily infested areas, their dark-colored excrement may be visible.
· Bedbug bites generally result in raised, itchy areas similar to those of mosquito bites.
· In heavy infestations, a strong, musty odor may develop.

Travel Tips
· Check around headboards, mattresses and box springs for bedbugs and the dark blood spots they leave behind.
· Hang all clothing. Leave nothing lying on the bed or furniture.
· Avoid unpacking clothing and storing them in the hotel's furniture drawers.
· Don't allow your baggage to sit on the floor. Store it on a luggage rack as far from the bed as possible.
· If you notice evidence of bedbugs, request another room or change hotels.
· When returning home, leave luggage in the garage or basement until you are able to thoroughly inspect it for bedbugs.
· Vacuum suitcases when returning from trips and immediately wash clothing in hot water.

Home Prevention and Protection
· Inspect vintage furniture, antiques, used appliances or consignment items for signs of bedbugs before purchasing or bringing into the home
· Never pick up used mattresses or furniture left curbside
· Inspect and wash (in warm water) previously-worn clothing that has been donated or purchased from consignment shops
· Quarantine infested items. Moving them within the home can spread the problem
· Use zippered encasements on infested mattresses and box springs
· If you suspect you have bedbugs, have your home inspected by a trained professional. Bedbugs cannot be controlled by over-the-counter treatments and will require the assistance of a pest control operator.
