Identifying Bed Bugs In Tennessee
Accurate identification is crucial for effective bed bug treatment. Different life stages and behaviors require different detection methods—our technicians use multiple approaches to ensure complete identification.
Bed Bug Life Stages
Eggs
Tiny, pearl-white eggs (about 1mm) laid in clusters of 10-50. Often hidden in cracks, crevices, and mattress seams.
Nymphs
Immature bed bugs that look like small adults but are translucent white to yellow-brown. Require blood meals to molt.
Adults
Oval-shaped, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. Darker red-brown after feeding with visible blood.

Don't DIY Bed Bug Treatment
Over-the-counter sprays and foggers rarely work and can make infestations worse by scattering bugs. Professional heat treatments and integrated pest management are the only reliable solutions. Early detection and treatment prevents spread to neighboring units or homes.
