How to Spot Bedbug Bites in Gravesend (And What to Do Next)
Think you’ve been bitten by bedbugs in your Gravesend home? Here’s how to know for sure — and what steps to take next.
What Do Bedbug Bites Look Like?
Bedbug bites often appear as small, red, itchy bumps on the skin — typically in a line or cluster. You’ll most commonly find them on exposed areas like your neck, arms, legs, or back.
Unlike flea bites, bedbug bites do not usually have a red center, and unlike mosquito bites, they often appear overnight after sleeping.
Common Symptoms of Bedbug Bites
- Itchy, raised red welts
- Bite patterns in rows or clusters
- Inflammation or minor swelling
- Increased itching in the morning
How to Confirm a Bedbug Infestation
If you suspect you’ve been bitten, check your bedding and mattress seams for live bugs, blood spots, or black droppings. You may also notice a musty smell in severe cases.
It’s important to act quickly — infestations can grow rapidly, and the longer you wait, the harder it is to eliminate them.
