What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, flat, wingless insects that feed on blood, usually while people are sleeping. Adults are typically reddish-brown and are often compared in size and shape to an apple seed.

They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, upholstered furniture, cracks and other sheltered areas close to where people rest. Bed bugs can travel between properties in luggage, clothing, furniture and personal belongings, so an infestation is not necessarily a sign of poor cleanliness.

Signs of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are excellent at hiding close to where people sleep. An inspection looks beyond the obvious and checks the places activity is most likely to be found.

Bites can be a clue—but they do not confirm bed bugs.

Reactions differ from person to person. Physical evidence around beds and furniture is important for accurate identification.

01

Dark spotting

Small dark or rusty marks around mattress seams, bed frames, skirting and nearby furniture.

03

Shed skins & eggs

Pale cast skins, tiny eggs or eggshells in protected areas near sleeping spaces.

02

Live bed bugs

Flat, reddish-brown insects hiding in seams, joints, cracks and sheltered edges.

04

Recurring activity

New marks, sightings or unexplained bites continuing after basic cleaning or linen changes.

Bed Bug Bites

Bed bug bites can look different on every person.

Do the Bites Mean Bed Bugs?

Bed bug bites may appear as itchy red marks, sometimes grouped or arranged in a line. Some people show little or no visible reaction, while others experience stronger irritation.

Because bites can resemble reactions caused by mosquitoes, fleas or other conditions, they are not enough to identify an infestation on their own. Look for physical signs and arrange an inspection if you are unsure.

Health note: Seek medical advice for severe swelling, signs of infection, breathing difficulty or any reaction that concerns you.

What to Do If You Find Bed Bugs

The goal is to contain the activity, preserve useful evidence and avoid carrying bed bugs into unaffected rooms.

Safe steps you can take now

Avoid moving bedding, furniture or personal items into other rooms.

Place suitable clothing and linen in sealed bags before taking them to the laundry.

Use a high-temperature dryer cycle where the fabric permits, following its care instructions.

Vacuum visible activity and likely hiding areas carefully, then seal and dispose of the contents outdoors.

Keep any captured insect or a clear photograph to help with identification.

Do not use unsuitable pesticides

Avoid garden or agricultural chemicals, homemade mixtures and products that do not specifically list bed bugs on the label. Incorrect treatment can create safety risks and may spread activity into other areas.

Do not discard furniture immediately

Moving an untreated mattress or lounge can spread bed bugs through the property. Have the item assessed before deciding whether it can be treated, encased or needs careful disposal.

Bed Bug Treatment FAQs

How do I know if I have bed bugs?

Look for live insects, dark spotting, shed skins, eggs or rusty marks near sleeping areas. Bites alone cannot reliably confirm the cause, so an inspection is the clearest next step.

Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?

Bed bugs hide in very small spaces and eggs can survive some control methods. DIY products used without a coordinated plan may miss harbourage areas. Professional inspection helps determine the extent of activity and the appropriate treatment.

Will one bed bug treatment be enough?

That depends on the level and spread of activity, preparation and treatment method. Some infestations require follow-up inspection or additional treatment. We explain the recommended plan before work begins.

Do I need to throw away my mattress?

Not automatically. Disposal may be unnecessary and can spread bed bugs if items are moved without care. Ask the technician to assess the item and explain the suitable options first.

Do you treat hotels, apartments and strata properties?

Yes. We provide bed bug control in Newcastle for homes, apartments, accommodation and managed properties, with the treatment scope adapted to the site.
