If you live in New York, you’ve probably seen something disgusting on the subway. You may have even been grossed out by the vile things you’ve seen other commuters do. But the one thing you’ve never seen is someone with bed bug poop on them without any bed bugs in sight. I think we need to pay attention to this… Bed bugs leave behind a lot of evidence that people might miss when trying to find out if their home is infested. The best indication you may have a problem is not having any bugs but finding the evidence of their feeding and habituating behaviors on your mattress and nearby furniture. You might be living with bed bugs without ever seeing an adult bug or egg sac, or knowing whatever it is that you are seeing is even bed bug evidence at all. I hate bed bugs. More than that, I am paranoid about bed bugs. And you should be too. But I want to talk about something that is perhaps more important when it comes to bed bugs. That’s right, I’m talking about the poop they leave behind. Wait aren’t they constantly moving? The answer is yes but they still poop just like the rest of us.

Bed Bug Poop But No Bugs

Bed Bug Poop But No Bugs

Bed bug poop is a common problem for many people, but you should know that bed bugs do not live on humans. The only time they feed off of humans is when they are in the nymph stage of development (i.e., young). At this point, they will take blood meals from any available source including humans when their preferred host isn’t available.

Bed bugs can be found hiding in small cracks and crevices around your home or hotel room. They tend to hide during the day before coming out at night to feed on sleeping victims.

Does It Matter If You Have Bed Bug Poop But No Bugs?

If you are seeing bed bug poop but not any actual bed bugs, it is possible that you have a bed bug infestation. However, it’s also possible that there are no bed bugs and this is just a one-time event. Either way, the situation is concerning because of the nature of the material found in your home. Bed bug poop can be a sign that there are or were bed bugs around at some point.

If you can identify where on your property these fecal stains occurred (or if they’ve been cleaned up), make sure to check those areas closely as well for signs of live insects before calling an exterminator. If there are indeed no active insects present and this was simply an isolated incident, then you should take steps to prevent future occurrences by putting covers over mattresses and box springs and vacuuming regularly throughout the house—especially around areas where people spend time such as beds or couches—to reduce clutter on floors where the pests might find shelter during daylight hours

Do I Need to Get Rid of Bed Bug Poop?

Bed bug feces (or bed bug poop) are the result of a bed bug’s blood meal, and they can appear as dark spots or smears on your sheets, mattresses and pillows. While it is true that bed bug feces is not toxic, having these stains and odors in your home can lead to some serious health problems if left untreated.

If you have spotted these stains or noticed an unpleasant odor coming from your mattress — it may be time for an inspection by a professional pest control company such as Orkin Pest Control®.

The Only Way to Be Sure…

If you’re on the fence about whether or not you have bed bugs, a professional bed bug inspection can help. Your pest control expert will look for telltale signs like the brownish-red fecal droppings of adults or nymphs, which are the size of grains of rice. They may also check for reddish-brown blood smears on your linens and mattress. Bed bugs don’t live long without feeding—a few days in most cases—so if one is still alive and active it should be easy to find evidence of its presence in your home.

If no bed bug fecal matter is found during the inspection process but you suspect that you might have been bitten by one at some point during your stay in an infested hotel room, take several samples with a plastic baggie to get tested by a lab specializing in identifying these parasites (see section below). Lab results will give you much more conclusive evidence than simply taking photos from afar with your smartphone camera lens! You can even ask them to send their findings directly to whoever rented that room so they know what kind of health risks their property poses to others as well! If all else fails… well then there may not be anything left worth saving here except maybe some new furniture? Just kidding! Don’t do this unless absolutely necessary because then we’d have another whole article about moving instead.”

If you have bed bug poop but no bugs, it’s time to get a professional involved.

• If you have bed bug poop but no bugs, it’s time to get a professional involved.
• Remember: Bed bug poop is a sign that you have bed bugs in your home.
• Bed bug poop can also be an indicator of a new infestation or current infestation.
• Bed bug eggs hatch into nymphs within days after they’re laid by the adult female on your mattress or other areas of furniture where you sleep or sit down for long periods at night (think couches, love seats, recliners). These can then crawl onto you when you rest against them and make their way into cracks in your skin—and this process begins all over again!
