When waking up with an itch or series welts it's pretty good evidence there's possible infestation starting.

When immediately addressing that type of evidence you can prevent and offset a real infestation.

An INFESTATION by definition is the rapid increase of an unwanted organism, in this case the Bed Bug.

Reproduction begins and the population grows. Every 35-48 days. From egg to reproducing adult 5-8 weeks in normal indoor temperatures. Warmer conditions shorten that timeline. That's where the infestation starts.

The female will lay roughly 200-500 eggs over her lifespan which could be several months to a year or more.

Over time you may start to see small pin head size stains on the sheets. They appear as dots, specks of debris. These spots are either digested blood or a dripping from the Bed Bug after feeding. The color when dry will be either black or a rust color. These spots may also be found in a group of clusters, little bunches. You may also see them around the perimeter or areas of the mattress where there are folds or stitching.

Another sign is a smell. The smell will be a sudden musty odor. The scent is similar to the herb Cilantro.

The stronger the scent gets more likely an infestation is developing.

It will be a new and unusual smell in the areas where Bed Bugs are suspected. 

Small translucent shell like casings. These casings are the shedding of a growing nymph (junior Bed Bug). Each time there is a molt another step of growth takes place as the Bed Bug grows into adulthood.

There are five stages of growth from egg to adulthood. Each stage will require a blood meal for growth and maturity. If you see these shell like casings (they will also be very small) it is after a “molt”. This is a sign there is an infestation and it is growing.  A “molt” by definition is the shedding of the exterior of the Bed Bug. When they molt they are in the process of growing and moving on to their next stage and size.

Both male and female will molt after each and every blood meal. Blood is the only nutrition for the Bed Bug. 

Because of the Bed Bug’s size and elusive behavior you may never see a live one in the early stages. 

After 6-10 days the Bed Bugs eggs will hatch and begin to grow.

The eggs require a microscope to actually see due to their size, so don’t waste time inspecting for eggs. 

A nymph (baby Bed Bug) starts out as translucent or whitish-yellow is color and almost naked to the eye. As they feed (bite) their bodies will grow in size and change in color on the way to adulthood.

The point here is there may be no visual confirmation, but there could be an infestation just getting started.

• The Bed Bugs are mainly nocturnal and elusive. Keep in mind the stated signs of confirmation.
• Inspect the sheets for dark little black specks or rust color dots. They may even appear as a dust particle.
•  Examine the mattress edges and areas where stitching. Look at the seams or folds.
• Look for specks & dots as well as small shell-like debris
• . A foreign smell that suddenly is present. The smell will become even stronger over time.
• These are all signs that an infestation is growing and you can stop it starting right here. DOWNLOAD TODAY
