Is there a bug in my bed?

Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals while they sleep. They are attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide, so they are often found in bedding and other areas where people sleep.

If you suspect that you have bed bugs, there are a few signs to look for:

• Bites on your skin: Bed bugs typically bite at night and leave small, red marks on the skin that may be itchy.
• Blood stains on your sheets: If you find small blood stains on your bed sheets, it could be a sign of bed bugs.
• Live bugs or eggs: You may find live bed bugs or their eggs in the seams of your mattress, in cracks in your bed frame, or in other areas near your bed.
• A musty smell: Bed bugs can produce a musty odour, which you may notice if you have a large infestation.

If you think you have bed bugs, it's important to address them as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading to other areas of your home. You can try washing your bedding in hot water and drying it on the highest heat setting to kill the bugs or their eggs, or you may need to hire a professional pest control company to eliminate the infestation.
