Signs You Have Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small (apple-seed sized), reddish-brown, and expert at hiding in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, and upholstered furniture. Here's what to look for:
Blood Stains & Dark Spots
Small reddish-brown stains or black smear marks on mattress seams, sheets, and pillowcases — from crushed bugs or fecal matter.
Itchy Bites in Clusters
Bites appearing in a line or cluster on exposed skin (arms, shoulders, neck, face) that you didn't notice going to bed. Not everyone reacts to bites.
Shed Skins & Eggs
Tiny pale yellow shed skins (nymphs molt 5 times) and white 1mm eggs tucked in mattress seams, box spring folds, and furniture crevices.
Musty Sweet Odor
A distinctive sweet, musty smell in the bedroom or near the bed — similar to coriander or raspberries — produced by heavy infestations.
Seeing Live Bed Bugs
Adult bed bugs are visible to the naked eye — about the size and shape of an apple seed, flat, and reddish-brown. They're most active at night and hide during the day in dark, tight spaces near their host.
How Bed Bugs Spread
Bed bugs don't fly or jump — they hitchhike. The most common ways they enter Indiana homes are:
- →Travel: Luggage, clothing, and personal items brought home from hotels, motels, and Airbnbs where bed bugs are already present.
- →Used furniture: Secondhand mattresses, bed frames, couches, and upholstered chairs purchased from unknown sources.
- →Guests & visitors: Visitors whose belongings, bags, or coats carry bed bugs from an infested location.
- →Multi-unit buildings: Apartments, condos, and duplexes where bed bugs travel through wall voids, electrical outlets, and shared walls.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Process
Free Inspection
Our technician performs a thorough room-by-room inspection — mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, furniture, and baseboards — to confirm bed bug presence and assess severity.
Targeted Treatment
We apply eco-friendly, targeted insecticide treatments to all harborage sites — mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, baseboards, furniture crevices, and wall/floor junctions.
Follow-Up Visit
A follow-up treatment 10–14 days later eliminates any newly hatched eggs that survived the initial application. Most infestations are fully cleared within 2–3 visits.
Bed Bug FAQ
Do I need to throw away my mattress?
In most cases, no. Professional treatment can effectively eliminate bed bugs from mattresses and box springs without replacing them. Your technician will advise if any items are too heavily infested to save, but this is uncommon with early-to-moderate infestations.
How do I prepare for bed bug treatment?
Before treatment, you'll need to wash all bedding, linens, and clothing on high heat and seal them in bags. Clear clutter from around beds and furniture, and pull beds away from walls. Your Leadtech technician will provide a complete preparation checklist at the time of your free inspection.
Can I get rid of bed bugs on my own?
DIY bed bug treatments — sprays, powders, bug bombs — rarely eliminate a full infestation. Bed bugs hide deep in crevices, resist many over-the-counter products, and reproduce rapidly. Professional treatment with targeted applications and follow-up visits is the most reliable way to fully eliminate an infestation.
