Signs of bed bugs
- Bites in lines or clusters, often on arms and shoulders.
- Rusty or dark spots on sheets and mattress seams.
- Tiny pale eggs and shed skins in seams and cracks.
- Small reddish-brown bugs around the bed, couch or headboard.
What helps right now
- Don't move to another room or a friend's couch; it spreads them.
- Wash and dry bedding on the hottest setting.
- Vacuum mattress seams and bag the vacuum contents.
- Skip foggers: they scatter bed bugs into walls.
How pros treat bed bugs
Usually a careful inspection, then heat treatment, targeted products, or both, with a follow-up visit to catch any that hatched later.

FAQ
Bed Bugs: common questions
Do I need to throw out my mattress?
Usually not. Mattresses can be treated and encased. Ask the pest control company what fits your situation.
Are bed bugs a sign of a dirty home?
No. Bed bugs travel in luggage, furniture and clothing, and show up in clean homes too.
Do you do the treatment yourselves?
No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
