The common household bed bug can be seen by the naked eye. They have a brown or reddish-brown color and a longish flat shape that makes it possible for them to easily hide in holes and cracks. They hide from view during the day in places that are dark, confined and difficult to get to. They hide inside the gaps and sunken areas of mattresses, spring coils, bed rails, headboards, cabinets, drawers, baseboards, door and window casings, in loose wallpaper and in the stuffing, cushions and fabric of chairs and sofas.
A sure sign of bed bug infestation are the brown rusty-looking spots you can see on sheets and pillowcases. These nasty spots are fecal and blood material left behind when bloated bugs are crushed. Early infestations are likely to be around beds, but in the long run the bugs spread throughout a room, filling up every hollow space or confined area. They can also breed and scatter to nearby rooms or neighboring houses.
