Could These Itchy Marks Be Bedbug Bites?

If you live in Bexley and are waking up with itchy red marks on your skin, bedbugs may be to blame. These pests are small, elusive, and active at night — and their bites are often the first obvious sign of a hidden infestation.

Common Signs of Bedbug Bites

Here’s what to look out for if you suspect bedbug bites:

• Red, itchy bumps – Often in a straight line or clustered pattern
• Bites on exposed skin – Such as arms, legs, neck, and face
• Worsening bites overnight – More bites may appear after each night
• Multiple people affected – If others in your household are experiencing similar bites

How Bedbug Bites Differ from Other Insects

Unlike flea bites, which tend to appear around the ankles, bedbug bites can appear anywhere the skin is exposed during sleep. They are also less likely to have a central red dot and tend to be more linear in pattern.

If you notice small blood spots on your sheets, shed skins, or a musty smell in the room, this could confirm bedbug activity in your Bexley property.
