What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?
Signs of a bed bug infestation include waking up with itchy, red bites on your skin, often in a line or cluster. You might also notice small, rust-colored stains on your sheets or mattress from crushed bugs or their droppings. Additionally, check for tiny, white bed bug eggs or shed skins in the seams of your mattress and other hiding spots.

Where might you find bed bugs?
In the home, bed bugs are commonly found in the seams and folds of mattresses, box springs, and bedding. They can also hide in cracks and crevices of bed frames, headboards, and nearby furniture. Bed bugs may spread to other areas such as behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets, and within floor cracks.
Geographically, bed bugs are a widespread problem, found in various climates and regions across the globe. They are particularly common in urban areas where high population densities and frequent travel increase the likelihood of infestations. Bed bugs can be found in hotels, apartment complexes, and any place with a high turnover of occupants.
When are bed bug invasions likely to occur?
Bed bug invasions can occur at any time of the year, but they are often more noticeable during warmer months. During these times, bed bugs are more active, feeding and reproducing at a faster rate. Increased travel during holidays and summer vacations can also lead to a higher risk of bed bug infestations as people move between locations.
To protect your home year-round, consider preventative measures and regular inspections. Magna Pest Solutions’ Specialized Bed Bugs treatment (link) covers comprehensive protection.
Why should I get rid of these?
Bed Bugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood, often causing itchy welts and allergic reactions. They can hide in tiny crevices, making them difficult to eradicate. Removing them quickly is vital to prevent the infestation from spreading.
