Early Signs of Bed Bugs in Pangbourne Homes
Bed bugs are tiny, elusive pests that can quietly invade your Pangbourne home without you realising — until it’s too late. The key to avoiding a full-blown infestation is knowing how to spot the early signs. At Pest Services Berkshire, we help homeowners across Pangbourne detect and eliminate bed bugs quickly and discreetly.
Top 5 Early Signs of Bed Bugs
- Red, itchy bites on your skin – Often appearing in a line or small cluster, these bites are a telltale sign of night-time feeding.
- Dark spots or smears on your sheets – These could be bed bug droppings or crushed bugs after feeding.
- Small blood stains on bedding – Caused by squashed bugs or bleeding bites.
- Unusual sweet or musty smell – A heavy infestation can produce a noticeable odour in affected rooms.
- Visible shed skins or tiny white eggs – Often found along mattress seams, behind headboards, or in furniture joints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see bed bugs with the naked eye?
Yes, adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. But they’re great at hiding, so you might not see them until the infestation grows.
How soon after being bitten do symptoms appear?
Most people react within hours, but some may not notice for days. Bites are usually itchy, red, and often appear in lines.
Should I throw away my mattress?
Usually, no. With proper treatment, most mattresses can be saved. Contact us before disposing of anything valuable.
