How do you know if you have bed bugs?
The only way to know for sure whether you have a bed bug problem is to identify a living bed bug, which may require the intervention of a professional pest expert.
What someone might think are bed bug bites could be from another insect. Other physical signs can show that at one time there were bed bugs in the space, but doesn’t conclusively mean there is still an active infestation.
Bed bugs are hard to detect, but if you can find two or more signs (bed bug bites and/or one of these signs), you may have a bed bug problem.
