How do you know if you have bedbugs?
I’m pretty sure I don’t have any.I recently got a new (used) mattress.I didn’t see any either. But I’m getting some bug bites ever since I got the mattress, but it’s just a few and in random places and it’s not every night.I don’t know if it’s just regular bug bites or not.

You can generally see them when you take a closer look at your mattress. I think they are black.

The bedroom and other sleeping areas should be carefully examined for bed bugs and signs of bed bug activity. Folds and creases in the bed linens, and seams and tufts of mattresses and box springs, in particular, may harbor bed bugs or their eggs. They may also be found within pleats of curtains, beneath loose areas of wallpaper near the bed, in corners of desks and dressers, within spaces of wicker furniture, behind cove molding, and in laundry or other items on the floor or around the room. Sometimes, characteristic dark brown or reddish fecal spots of bed bugs are apparent on the bed linens, mattress or walls near the bed. A peculiar coriander-like odor may be detected in some heavily infested residences. Adhesive-based traps used for sampling insects or rodents are not particularly effective for trapping bed bugs.
