I think I have bed bug bites. How do I know?

It can be difficult to tell if you've been bitten by a bed bug unless you see the bugs themselves and find evidence of an infestation. Bed bug bites often resemble those of mosquitoes and fleas. Generally, the bite marks are very small and may appear in a line or randomly on the skin. Often, though not always, bite marks appear in a pattern of three. For many people, the bites are very itchy and can swell into large, raised welts. Everyone reacts differently to bed bug bites. In fact, as many as 30% of people do not have any reaction at all and may not even realize they were bitten. For more information, visit pestworld.org.
