The good news is that you don’t have to isolate yourself and your family to avoid contact with bed bugs, you just need to take a few steps to help protect yourself and your home from being taken over by bed bugs. Here are some tips you can use to avoid bed bugs:
- Know what all the stages of a developing bed bug look like: white eggs, small white nymphs, brown appleseed-like adults
- Know what bed bug bites look like: They look similar to other insect bites, but they usually feed on skin that is exposed while you sleep and they usually leave a row or cluster of three bites because they usually feed three times.
- Know where bed bugs like to hide out: An infestation usually starts in sleeping areas and bed bugs are often found hiding out in the cracks of mattresses, box springs, walls, furniture, and under piles of clothing.
- Know what signs bed bugs leave behind: If bed bugs are in your home you will most likely find spots of blood or dark streaks of their excrement on mattresses, box springs, and linens.
