Bed Bug Droppings

Found in human dwellings, typically on mattresses, bed frames, box springs, and behind wallpaper or baseboards near sleeping areas.

The source organism (Bed Bug) feeds exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, primarily humans.

The droppings appear as dark, ink-like stains that smear when wiped with a damp cloth. They are deposited after a bed bug digests a blood meal. Bed bugs are nocturnal and hide during the day in tight crevices.

Risks include physical evidence of a bed bug infestation which can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and psychological distress. They do not transmit diseases but are a significant pest nuisance. There are no ecological benefits to humans.
