Clear bed bugs. Typical household bugs can vary greatly depending on where you live but some of the most common house pests include ants bed bugs cockroaches and flies not to mention rodents. To recognize bed bugs check your skin for any bite marks which will look like red spots with a darker red area in the middle. If you can t find any bed bugs but you think you have an infestation check for bite marks around your feet or ankles. In addition to cleaning your living space thoroughly and finding any possible nesting areas you ll also probably need to have an exterminator do a few rounds of chemical or heat treatments to get rid of all the bedbugs and their eggs.

Using an integrated pest management ipm approach incorporates both non chemical and pesticide methods. Also inspect your mattress and bedding for red or rust colored stains since bed bugs leave behind a stain when they re crushed. Success depends on the extent of the infestation clutter on site and resident participation. Controlling bed bugs is complex.

Bed bugs are nocturnal but they prefer to feed on a deeply sleeping host which for human beings is in the few hours before sunrise. Unfortunately bed bug infestations take a lot of time and effort to clear up.

I d suggest capturing one of the insects in a small plastic pill jar or plastic ziploc.

Look for yellow egg shells and clear case skins near your mattress edges and try to spot blood spots or dark fecal matter on your sheets or headboard.
