Bedbugs are small insects that often live on furniture or bedding. Their bites can be itchy, but do not usually cause other health problems.
Bedbugs can hide in many places, including in bed frames, mattresses, clothing, furniture, behind pictures and under loose wallpaper.
1) bites – often on skin exposed while sleeping, like the face, neck and arms
2) spots of blood on your bedding – from the bites or from squashing a bedbug
3) small brown spots on bedding or furniture (bedbug poo)
