They also breed on pillows and sheets, particularly under the creases. Bed bugs are brownish red in color and survive on human and animal blood. Knowing their physical appearance will make them distinguishable.

Using a torch light and a magnifying glass to check for feces in their hideouts will give you signs of their presence. Also if you can smell a reek of odor emanating from the area you suspect to be hideouts will make you tell whether or not they are present.

These pests reproduce, mate and shed off their outer covering. After mating, they produce eggs and leave their exoskeleton spread all over these areas. Egg coverings and exoskeletons point out their presence. Looking out for dark and red spots spread over the sheet is a sign of their presence. The spots come about after you kill them when turning while you sleep.
