Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation in CT
You might already know you have a bed bug infestation, but here are a few of the most common signs experienced bed bug exterminators look for in Connecticut.
Bite Marks
Although bite marks from bed bugs aren’t often seen, some people experience hives or blistering at the bite site.
Fecal Spots
Fecal spots are seen as small, dark, sand-like droppings that occur in patches around and especially beneath nests.
Blood Smears
You may see blood smears on sheets and pillowcases.
Exoskeleton Shells
You may see the presence of their empty molted exoskeletons.
Nasty Odor
Bed bugs can be detected by their characteristic smell of rotting raspberries.
What You Need to Know About Bed Bugs Near Connecticut
- Bed bugs are most active while you sleep.
- Bed bugs can also quickly spread to different rooms and even vehicles as they hitch a ride on a human host, clothing, or bedding.
- Adult bed bugs are light brown to reddish-brown, flattened, oval-shaped, and have no hind wings.
- Bed bugs have segmented abdomens with microscopic hairs that give them a banded appearance.
- Adults grow to 4–5 mm in length (just over 3/16 inch) and 1.5–3 mm wide.
- Newly hatched nymphs are translucent, lighter in color, and become browner as they molt and reach maturity.
- A bed bug of any age that has just consumed a blood meal will appear to have a bright red translucent abdomen; this color will fade to brown over the next several hours and, within two days, will become opaque and black as the insect digests its meal.
- Bed bugs may be mistaken for other insects, such as ticks, booklice, small cockroaches, or carpet beetles. When warm and active, their movements are more ant-like, and they emit a characteristically disagreeable odor when crushed.
Helpful Bed Bug Prevention & Treatment Tips:
- Cover power outlets. Bed bugs use power outlets to hide in order to evade extermination.
- Store your clothing in vacuum-sealed bags. This is especially important when traveling since bed bugs are most commonly transferred from hotels.
- Bed bugs often hide in your carpet. It’s important to thoroughly vacuum your carpet.
- Clean your pet’s bed. Bed bugs can be attracted to your pet’s bed, where they can also find warm crevices to lay eggs and feed.
- Don’t delay. The fastest way to get rid of a bed bug infestation in Connecticut is by calling a professional exterminator to deal with the issue swiftly and thoroughly.

Fox Pest Control Connecticut Reviews
Amy Kelly
Fox pest control serviced my property today and they did a great job. Ben Miller and Dave Paneto were both knowledgeable and polite. They were also hard working and efficient. I feel confident with the service and like that they will come back if I have any further issues between quarterly visits. Also a shoutout to the sales rep Alex who was very kind and took the time to talk me through everything!
Alexander Main
Today, we had Colin over our house to get rid of a growing hornet nest. Colin was extremely professional, kind, and did an excellent job explaining everything that he did before and after taking the nest down. We have used Fox Pest Control for years, and will continue to do so in the future!
To ensure our customer's safety, we insist on a thorough screening process for all Fox Pest Control Technicians. They also complete extensive training in the classroom and on the job with an experienced mentor before servicing alone.
