This is very common whenever you purchase a used bed or any used furniture around the time that you start discovering your bites. Another way to tell is if you start seeing what looks like blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases. Also dark or Rusty spots of bed bug excrement on sheets, mattresses, beds , clothes or even walls. It will look like an ink Spot from a black pen. You may also notice what are bed bug fecal spots, eggshells or shed skins and areas where bed bugs hide. You will also notice an unpleasant musty odor from the bugs scent glands.

Bed bugs are most active at night, but can and will bite and feast in the daytime as well. They like to be in the seams of your mattress and they look at you as a feast every night.
Under the right conditions that have the ideal temperature, humidity levels and host traffic, a single female bed bug can lay between two hundred and five hundred eggs in her lifetime ( one to five eggs each day). That is a lot of bed bugs! The eggs hatch in six to 10 days. In a bed bug’s perfect world, a bed bug’s lifespan can be almost a full year. Bed bugs rely on their blood meals to survive , but they can also live for weeks or even months without feeding. Bed bugs will lay dormant until a human host comes along. If that thought doesn’t make your skin crawl then I don’t know what would. When bed bugs feed on a human host, compounds in their saliva act as a kind of anesthesia that prevents their victims from feeling the bite. However this saliva is what causes many skin reactions and causes bed bug bites to itch so badly. A single bed bug can take in a significant amount of blood relative to its size. In fact it is known that a bed bug can take in up to six times its weight in blood during one feeding. This feeding can take as long as ten minutes!
