While the phrase “bed bugs” can instill a certain degree of fear, the presence of bed bug marks on mattress doesn’t always indicate the presence of bed bugs themselves. The allergen that causes these marks is called bed bug dermatitis or, alternatively, red bites. Mattress labels and advertisements rarely mention it. One reason for this is that consumers don’t always equate red marks with bed bugs. Bed bug dermatitis doesn’t necessarily point to the presence of bed bugs directly, but rather to infestations of dust mites, another common allergen. Bed bug infestation is a sneaky thing you do not wish to have in your house. The only way to get rid of them is to catch them early enough before they multiply and spread. Thankfully, bed bug striae on mattress are enough to confirm that these guys are in your house.

Bed Bug Marks On Mattress

Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped insects that are reddish brown in color.

Bed bugs are reddish brown in color. Their bodies are pear-shaped when viewed from above, and they range in size from 4-5mm for adults to 1-2mm for nymphs. The eggs of bed bugs are white and very small, measuring only 0.5mm long by 0.3mm wide on average.

Bed bugs have been around since ancient times and were once widely used as a folk remedy; they were applied to the skin to treat joint pain or even swelling around the eyes caused by swollen blood vessels beneath the skin (a condition known as “raccoon eyes”). But these days, you likely won’t find any health benefits associated with getting bitten by a bed bug—just pain and itching!

Body length of an adult bed bug ranges from 4-5mm while babies are just 1mm long and can easily be over looked.

While body length of an adult bed bug ranges from 4-5mm, babies are just 1mm long and can easily be overlooked.

Bed bugs are small, brown insects that feed on human blood. Bed bugs live in the cracks and crevices of your mattress and box spring. They are hard to see with the naked eye but can be identified by their oval shape when viewed from above or along either side of its body.

How can bed bugs get into your mattress?

While bed bugs are tiny and can travel easily, they do not have wings. This means that they cannot fly. Instead, bed bugs crawl around our homes looking for food and shelter. Bed bugs can get into your mattress through cracks in the wall or by hitchhiking on your clothes.

Bed bugs are nocturnal—meaning they only come out at night to feed on sleeping humans (and other warm-blooded animals). They typically hide during the day within furniture crevices such as sofas and beds where their bodies stay out of sight but near their host’s living space where they can safely rest until evening rolls around again.

Bed bugs have a proboscis (a straw like mouthpiece) that allows them to pierce human skin and suck blood for about three to ten minutes. They do this when we`re sleeping because our body heat makes it easier to locate us in the dark. Once they finish feeding, they leave a red mark on the skin which looks very similar to a pimple. When you wake up and notice these marks on your body, chances are that is where your bed bug problem stems from.

Bed bug bites are the telltale sign of an infestation. Bed bugs feed on human blood, and leave red marks on your skin when they do so. These bites usually occur when you’re sleeping deeply, which is why you may not remember being bitten. If you notice multiple red spots on different areas of your body, it’s possible that bed bugs have taken up residence in your home or business.

Bed bugs are difficult to see with the naked eye; they’re about 1/4″ long (6mm), reddish brown insects that thrive in warm environments such as mattresses and box springs.

To find out if there are any signs of infestation in or around your mattress or box spring:

• Check for black stains caused by digested blood near seams – these stains will appear darker than normal due to the large amounts of blood released during feeding;
