Bed bug infestations are usually discovered by tenants but occasionally landlords find these hiding places as well. The small, brownish spots that might be noticed on the surface of a mattress are droppings (or fecal matter excreted by the bugs). Although some people claim to see actual bugs, it is only their excrement. Bedbugs has been a hot topic among the general public for some time. This article is to provide education and resources on this problem that the majority of people have never had. The information covered are the most common questions and answers, as well as access to other sources with more in-depth information.
Bed Bug Ink Spots
In this article we will focus on bed bug ink spots
Bed bug ink spots are tiny black dots left on surfaces by bed bugs. As these creatures move around, they leave behind a trail of droppings that look like ink spots. These stains can be found in any room of your home; however, beds and mattresses are the most common places for them to appear.
If you notice these spots around your house or hotel room, there is a chance that you may have an infestation of bed bugs near you. In fact, the best way to confirm whether or not this is true is by hiring an exterminator who specializes in treating these pests! They will come into your home and use special equipment designed for detecting bed bug activity before starting treatment (which usually involves using pesticides).
Bed bugs are small, flat insects that are brown in color. They live off of the blood of mammals. Despite popular belief, they do not have wings and cannot fly. They are known by their scientific name Cimex lectularius.
Bed bug ink spots are the dried blood of a bed bug after feeding. Since they do not have wings, bed bugs can only travel by crawling. They are nocturnal, which means they come out at night to feed on humans or other mammals. Bed bug ink spots can be found on carpets, mattresses and furniture around a sleeping area where a person has been bitten by these insects.
Bed bug ink spots are usually round in shape with an irregular outline that appears different from normal stains like urine or feces due to its dark color (almost blackish) and semi-transluscent appearance (similarly colored to red wine).
They are nocturnal creatures meaning they stay hidden during the day and come out at night to feed on their hosts. The two common signs to look for when inspecting for bed bugs is bloodstains from crushed bugs and rusty or reddish stains from their droppings.

Bed bugs can be difficult to locate because they like to hide in dark places that aren’t easily accessed by humans. They also move quickly, so if you spot one it may have been there only a few seconds before it scurries away.
When you think you have found a bed bug, it can be very difficult to tell what type of insect it is without taking a closer look under a microscope.
You may have come across an insect that resembles a bed bug. If it is brown, flat and has the same size as a bed bug, then there is a high chance that you have found one. However, there are many different types of insects that look similar to bed bugs which means that they could be any number of species.
To make sure you have correctly identified your insect as being a bedbug, take photos or video footage of the insect and upload it to our website where we will be able to help you identify it with ease.
This difficulty arises from the fact that many species of bugs can appear similar in shape and size but do not feed or behave like bed bugs.
In order to properly identify a bug, you must use a microscope to examine it. Using only an external visual inspection is simply not reliable enough. The difficulty with this arises from the fact that many species of bugs can appear similar in shape and size but do not feed or behave like bed bugs.
We now know that bed bugs are a small brown insect with six legs, but this knowledge did not come easily. In fact, the first time scientists were able to differentiate between types of insects by examining them under a microscope was in 1718!

If you want to get a closer look at the bug, use a magnifying glass. If you can’t find one in your house or apartment, it’s probably hanging on the wall of your local library.
Other options for getting a better look include using a lint roller (these are generally easy to find) or even setting up an old-fashioned flashlight.
When you think you have found a bed bug, it can take some time to find out if it is actually a bed bug
If you think you have found a bed bug, it can take some time to find out if it is actually a bed bug. It is important that you follow the steps below carefully to determine if what you have found is indeed a bed bug.
- Look for bloodstains left by the bugs as they feed on humans or animals in your home.
- Look for reddish-brown stains on sheets and furniture where they are hiding during daylight hours (bed bugs like hiding under mattresses). If there are stains like this, look under them with a magnifying glass or microscope to get an idea of what these stains look like up close; then check other areas of your house to see if there are similar stains elsewhere in your home. This can help narrow down whether or not this stain was made by bed bugs feeding on humans/animals or just something else such as rust from old pipes leaking into the walls behind them (which would be unlikely given how often leaks occur).
- Check under couches, chairs etc., especially those near beds – these spots may be where eggs were laid recently which could explain why there aren’t any adult insects around yet even though someone has noticed bites nearby before now! If so then just vacuum those areas thoroughly every week until all evidence disappears completely including fresh droppings which will continue appearing until no more eggs hatch within their lifespan limit (around 10 weeks total usually).”
