A short article that lists the signs of bed bug fecal matter on a mattress. Mind you, I’m not talking about dried up blood smears, which could be mistaken for other stains — that’s not our focus here. That’s a whole different ball game and has been covered in numerous articles elsewhere. Sorry to be gross, but the first thing that has to be done when a bed bug problem is reported is take pictures of the fecal stains on the mattress. These pictures of fecal stains on mattresses are important in identifying what kind of extermination works best. Pictures can also make it easier to determine if the bugs are truly hiding in your mattress or if they’re just hiding near your mattress. Bed bugs are one of the worst house invaders. There are a lot of signs that will tell you if your house is invaded by the little blood-suckers. One of the most obvious signs is blackish brown stains on mattresses. The stain which is left from bed bug feces can be easily noticed by visual inspection and can give you a sign about the presence of these pests in the house.
Bed Bug Feces On Mattress
Can Bed Bugs Live in Your Mattress?
Bed bugs can easily hide in your mattress. While they prefer to feed on human blood, they will also feed on other mammals such as dogs and cats. They can live for up to one year without feeding.
The Danger of Bed Bug Feces
As a health hazard, bed bug feces can cause allergic reactions and skin rashes. It is also a fire hazard, as it may cause spontaneous combustion if it dries out. When cleaning out your mattress or box spring, be sure to vacuum the area first with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner. Then use disinfectant wipes or sanitizer spray on all surfaces before you lay down fresh sheets and pillowcases.
What Does Bed Bug Feces Look Like?
When you see bed bug feces on your mattress, it will likely look like small black specks. These may be confused with dirt or other types of insect feces. Bed bugs will sometimes lay their eggs in fecal matter or near areas where they’ve been feeding, so you may also see brown or red stains on the mattress.
Bed bug feces color depends on what the bed bug has eaten recently—for example, if it ate some blood (which is red), its droppings will turn red as well.
How To Identify Bed Bug Feces On Your Mattress
Bed bug fecal matter is a dark brown to almost black color. The bugs do not like to urinate or defecate in the same place where they have eaten, so if you find feces at all it will be on the surface of your mattress, not in the fabric.
Bed bug feces may also appear as a small dark droplet or a smudge. Sometimes these stains are mistaken for mold, but if you look closely there are tiny black dots inside each drop and they’re actually made by bed bugs who were feeding on blood that has now dried up and fallen off them onto your mattress. If you can see them under magnification then they’re definitely fecal matter!
It is possible to have bed bug feces on your mattress.
Bed bugs are an annoying pest. They are small in size, but their bites are very itchy and can cause skin rashes. Bed bugs feed on human blood and lay eggs in the crevices of our mattresses or any other furniture where we sleep at night. If you have recently noticed some black spots on your mattress, then it is possible that these marks are from bed bug feces.
In order to find out whether these dark stains are from bed bug feces or not, you should look at them closely under a magnifying glass. If they look like tiny black dots or specks (about 1mm), they may be fecal matter left by these pests after they have fed on your blood while you were sleeping at night!
