You can detect bedbugs bug looking for black tracks on your bedding and mattress. These tracks are actually fecal stains that bedbugs leave when they move. Because bedbugs feed on human blood, their feces is pretty much nothing more than dried blood. Sometimes while a bedbug is feeding you will move or turn over. If the feeding bedbug is crushed when you move, it will leave small blood stains on whatever they are squished against. Obviously, bedbug fecal stains and blood stains show up best on lighter colored bedding. Bedbugs tend to come out later at night as they feed closer to dawn so chances are you won't see bedbugs during the day unless you have a very bad infestation.
If you have any doubts, let us check for you. Where do Bed Bugs hide?

How fast do Bed Bugs spread? Bed Bug Eggs
Some research has supported the fact that bed bugs can lay close to 500 eggs in their lifetime, and five eggs per day. One can easily see these eggs faster than they would see the bed bugs as they are of milky-white in color and are 1mm in length. Taking close to two weeks to hatch, these new bed bugs, or nymphs, begin their feeding process right away.

 Size of Adult Bed Bug
Bedbugs (or bed bugs) are small, elusive, and parasitic insects of the family Cimicidae. They live strictly by feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. Bedbugs occur around the world.
Because infestation of human habitats has been on the increase in developed countries, bedbug bites and related conditions have been on the rise as well. The exact causes of this resurgence remain unclear; it is variously ascribed to greater foreign travel, more frequent exchange of second-hand furnishings among homes, a greater focus on control of other pests resulting in neglect of bedbug countermeasures, and increasing resistance to pesticides. Bedbugs have been known human parasites for thousands of years. Public health significance: Although bed bugs bite people and feed on human blood they have not been found to transmit any diseases to humans. However, secondary infections resulting from scratching bites can occur and should be cleaned and treated accordingly. Repeated exposure to bed bug bites may cause some people to become sensitized to the saliva and result in mild to intense allergic reactions. Serious infestations and chronic attacks can cause anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Development of refractory delusional parasitosis is possible,as a person develops an overwhelming obsession with bedbugs |
