Bed bug shed skin, sometimes called flake skin or molted exoskeleton, is the discarded remains of a bed bug after it’s fed and molted. It’s usually found near the bed by a bed bug infestation caused by a bed bug bite. They are also sometimes found on bedding, clothing and other belongings. Shed skin is not dangerous to have in your room and should not be directly handled because you could be bitten by a stray bug wandering around your room. As natural as it is, the bed bug shed skin must be taken seriously. Removing it is the best way of preventing bugs from nesting in a particular house. Shedding of skins is not only done by the adults but also by young bugs that still need to grow into mature adults. When these insects shed their skin, they leave behind an exoskeleton that is filled with fluids. This prevents them from getting dehydrated. Although this process is something that every bug goes through, possible symptoms help you differentiate between crawlers and those that have already matured enough to mate and reproduce. This article explores different causes and related concerns.

The bed bug shed skin is unique because it is a sign that the bed bug has been in your home. It is not an indicator of how many bed bugs you have, or how bad the infestation is. The number of shed skins you find may vary from day to day, depending on the number of bugs in your home at any given time. If you see several shed skins in one area, this could mean there are more bugs living in that area than other areas.
Bed bug shed skins are usually found near areas where bed bugs live, such as in beds or near baseboards or walls. They are also often found on mattresses and box springs, but they can be anywhere in your home.
Bed bugs are a common pest in homes and apartments. They are small, flat, oval-shaped insects that live in cracks and crevices. Bed bugs can be found in both residential and commercial buildings, as well as on public transit systems. Bed bug infestations usually occur around or near the areas where people sleep (beds). Bites from bed bugs can cause itching, irritation, swelling and red welts on the skin.
Bed bugs have been known to spread diseases such as typhus, tuberculosis and Chagas disease. People who have been bitten by bed bugs should avoid scratching the area of the bite to prevent the possibility of spreading germs to other parts of their body or to others. Bed bug bites are not known to transmit any other types of disease.
The best way to control a bed bug infestation is through a combination of methods that include vacuuming all areas where bed bugs are present, washing bed linens and clothes in hot water, sealing cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide with caulk or putty, applying insecticides to area rugs where people walk barefoot and using mattress covers on beds with zippered encasements for mattresses or box springs that should remain in place for at least one year.
