Symptoms of bed bugs and mites in your bed include:

• Feeling itchy
• Visible bite marks from bed bugs
• Asthma and allergies triggered by dust mites.

You should inspect the following 3 areas of your mattress for bed bugs.

1. Pillowcases: Bed bugs like to hide close to you. Check the corners of your pillowcase by turning it inside out.
2. Fitted sheets: Remove the fitted sheet one corner at a time after removing any comforters or top sheets.
3. Top of your mattress: Examine black spots or blood stains. Those are the droppings of bed bugs.

Also check the rest of your mattress. Check the mattress seams, corners, and zipper. Look in cracks, crevices, and corners.

Bed bug infestations show these 4 signs:

• Shed exoskeleton: Before becoming an adult bed bug, they shed their exoskeleton 5 times
• Musty odor: As bed bugs multiply, their odor intensifies. Some describe bed bug odor as sweet; others describe it as musty and unpleasant.
• Bloodstains on your mattress
• Bed bug eggs

Every 6-8 years, you should replace your mattress because it contains more bacteria. It's likely time to replace yours.
