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.

Behavior & Biology

  • Nocturnal Feeding: Active at night when hosts are sleeping, feeding for 5-10 minutes
  • Hiding Places: Cracks, crevices, mattress seams, furniture, baseboards, and electrical outlets
  • Survival: Can survive months without feeding; adults live 6-12 months
  • Reproduction: Females lay 1-5 eggs daily; nymphs mature in 5-10 weeks

Common Signs of Bed Bugs

  • • Blood stains on sheets and mattresses
  • • Dark fecal spots (ink dots) on fabrics
  • • Shed skins from molting nymphs
  • • Musty, sweet odor from pheromones
  • • Bites in lines or clusters on skin
  • • Live bugs found during daylight

Where They Hide

  • • Mattress and box spring seams
  • • Headboard and bed frame crevices
  • • Furniture cushions and voids
  • • Baseboards and wall cracks
  • • Electrical outlets and switches
  • • Curtains, drapes, and clothing

Not sure if you have bed bugs?

Bites can mimic other skin conditions, and signs may be subtle. Our certified inspectors use professional tools and techniques to ensure accurate detection. Request an Inspection.

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.
