Bed Bug Bites vs Other Bites: What to Look For
- Linear or clustered bites on exposed skin (arms, legs, torso)
- Tiny blood smears or dark specks on sheets and mattress seams
- Cast skins/eggs around headboards, bed frames, divan bases
- Night-time activity: bites often noticed after sleep
Tip: Mosquito bites are often random and larger; bed bug bites tend to appear in lines or groups.
Where Bed Bugs Hide in Compton Properties
- Mattress piping, buttons, and labels
- Headboards, slats, and screw holes
- Bedside furniture joints and drawer runners
- Skirting boards, carpet edges, and wall fixings (sockets, frames)
- Soft furnishings, fold lines, and zips

Preventing Re-Infestation: Practical Steps
- Launder bedding and affected clothing at 60°C (or tumble-dry hot)
- Vacuum mattresses, bed frames, edges and skirtings; empty the vacuum immediately
- Use mattress/box-spring encasements after treatment
