A lack of education about bed bug prevention and control, a slow response from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to eradicate their spread, and the cost of exterminating them. Bed bugs are now endemic (native) throughout New York City, California and Florida. It’s time we finally did something to control these bugs before they control us!

Bed Bug Smears On Sheets

Introduction

Bed bug smears on sheets are surprising, but an even bigger surprise might be that these smears aren’t from bed bugs at all. Bed bug feces looks like small black or dark brown streaks, often in clusters. But there is one common household insect that could be causing this exact same look on your sheets: carpet beetle larvae. These destructive little bugs can chew through clothing and furniture, leaving behind not just bed bug poop lookalikes but a whole lot of damage as well. So how do you tell the difference between bed bug fecal stains and carpet beetle waste? Below we’ll go over what both of these common household pests leave behind, as well as some tips for getting rid of them ASAP.

If you find blood stains on your sheets, it may be because of bed bugs.

If you find blood stains on your sheets, it may be because of bed bugs. Bed bugs are small brown insects that feed on human blood. They are nocturnal and hide in cracks and crevices during the day. The most common places they infest include mattresses, box springs and bed frames; however, they can also be found behind baseboards or even inside wall voids. Bed bug bites usually leave behind a red mark that resembles a mosquito bite; however, over time these marks will turn into black dots due to the scabbing process caused by the saliva of these parasites when they bite into skin tissue. The bites themselves do not cause disease but can be very irritating and have been known to lead some people into an allergic reaction that results in severe itching at night while sleeping (which could lead them to scratch their skin raw). If left untreated long enough then this too can become infected causing further irritation along with possible scarring depending on how deep into skin tissues were scratched/bitten

Why Do Bed Bugs Smear Blood?

Why do bed bugs smear blood? The answer to this question lies in the fact that bed bugs need to feed on blood in order to survive. Without a food source, they will die within one or two months. This is because their sole source of nutrition comes directly from their host’s body, which means it must consume at least five times its own weight in blood each week. Blood is what keeps the insect alive — without it, they are unable to function properly and will eventually starve to death or die from dehydration if left without food for too long (Bed Bugs: Facts You Need To Know).

Because of this requirement for survival, bed bugs have developed a complex set of behaviors that allow them access to fresh human (and animal) hosts. When no one is home during daylight hours, these insects hide away under beds or furniture until it gets dark outside (Bed Bugs: Facts You Need To Know). They do this so they can easily move around undetected while searching for meals at night; when people are present during the day there aren’t many places where these pests can go unseen!

What to Do About Bed Bug Smears

If you find bed bug smears on your sheets, immediately call a professional exterminator.

The best way to get rid of bed bugs is to use an exterminator. You should also:

• Wash the sheets in hot water and dry them before putting them back on the bed. This will kill any remaining bed bugs and their eggs in the fabric.
• Wipe down the mattress with rubbing alcohol or another disinfectant spray for extra protection. The mattress will probably need to be replaced if it’s been infested with more than one type of insect (such as dust mites) due to cross-contamination between insects that live off of each other in different stages of life cycle growth inside your home environment while they feed off human hosts sleeping at night time hours when people are sleeping peacefully unaware that they’re being attacked by something living inside their bodies causing infections through bites wounds caused by scratching too much after waking up feeling painful itching sensation making us scratch until our nails bleed red blood drops falling onto sheets making stains there too easily visible when we look at them closely enough close enough distance away far enough away distance even farther away so we see clearly what needs cleaning up doing laundry doing laundry washing clothes drying clothes ironing clothes folding clothes folding towels ironing shirts ironing pants ironing dresses ironing skirts ironing tops ironing jackets ironing coats pressing shirts pressing pants pressing dresses pressing skirts pressing tops pressing jackets pressing coats press cloths press pillowcases press blankets press quilts

Bed bug infestations generally occur in hotels, apartments and homes but have also been found in dorm rooms. Students who travel for school may bring these pests back with them from their travels and unknowingly spread them around campus. To avoid an infestation on campus:

• Don’t bring used furniture or second-hand items into your dorm room if you’re not sure where they came from; this includes mattresses or other furniture that hasn’t been recently cleaned (vacuumed).
• Inspect any new furniture before bringing it into the building so that it doesn’t contain bedbugs inside (check seams of cushions).
