Signs You Might Have Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are excellent at hiding, which means most people don’t know they have them until the infestation is already growing. Recognizing early warning signs is key.


Common signs of bed bugs include:


  • Small, itchy red bites (often in a line or cluster)

  • Reddish or rusty stains on sheets or mattresses

  • A musty, sweet odor in the bedroom

  • Bed bug shells or shed skins

  • Small black fecal spots near mattress seams or on bedding

If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs in your home, it’s time to act fast. Bed bugs multiply quickly and spread between rooms and even neighboring homes if left untreated.

How Our Bed Bug Treatments Work

Our bed bug extermination process is designed to be comprehensive, minimally disruptive, and highly effective.

  • Inspection

    We begin with a detailed visual and physical inspection of mattresses, furniture, and baseboards to confirm the presence of bed bugs and the extent of the infestation.

  • Customized Treatment Plan

    Based on the level of infestation, we select the safest and most effective treatment options. We often use a combination of chemical and mechanical solutions that target live bugs and their eggs.

  • Targeted Application

    Our professional-grade products are applied to common hiding spots: mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, cracks, electrical outlets, and more.

  • Follow-Up Visit

    We return two weeks later to ensure the population is fully eradicated and no eggs have hatched. This two-step treatment guarantees more consistent, long-term results than one-time services.

What to Expect After Treatment

After your first treatment, you may still see a few live bugs for the first 7–10 days. This is expected, as products continue to work through the lifecycle. After your second visit, those sightings should stop entirely.


Here’s what you can expect during and after your treatment:


  • Safe treatment products used only in necessary areas

  • Detailed preparation and post-treatment checklist provided

  • Friendly and respectful technicians

  • No lingering chemical odors or damage to your belongings

  • Long-term prevention advice and support

  • We understand the emotional toll of bed bugs — and we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.

Two-Step Treatment Plan for Maximum Effectiveness

Most pest control companies do a single spray and leave — but we’ve found that this often leads to re-infestations.

Our two-step treatment process is what sets us apart:

Visit 1: Thorough treatment of all identified hot spots and surrounding areas

Visit 2 (10–14 days later): Follow-up application to catch any newly hatched bugs before they reproduce

This approach gives you peace of mind and helps ensure complete bed bug extermination — not just short-term relief.

We also provide written instructions for prepping your home before treatment to maximize results.

Why Bed Bugs Peak in Winter

While bed bugs can be a year-round problem, infestations are especially common during the winter months. Here’s why:



  • People travel and bring bugs home from hotels or relatives' homes

  • Bed bugs thrive in warm indoor environments

  • We spend more time indoors during winter, increasing contact

That’s why we put a heavy seasonal focus on bed bug removal in Shelby, OH from October through March. If you’re seeing signs this winter, don’t wait for it to get worse — call now.
