Bed Bug Fecal Spotting and Debris

Human dwellings, specifically in cracks and crevices near sleeping areas such as mattress seams, bed frames, and baseboards.

Obligate hematophages; they feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, primarily humans.

Nocturnal and elusive. They hide during the day in tight spaces and emerge at night to feed. They leave behind these dark, ink-like fecal spots of digested blood on bedding or surrounding surfaces.

Risks include itchy allergic reactions to bites, sleep deprivation, and psychological distress. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans but are significant household pests.
