Your skin starts to itch really bad, and you start smacking your leg. It’s good to vacuum your mattress.

brown spots near the head of the bed or on the sides or under the matress. if you see these anywhere it might be the feces from the bugs, so if you have them i suggest you get a new matress. also if you have suspicous red spots or bites on you thats a sign too.

You would have small red marks, usually around the ankle and lower leg area from being bitten.

well a friend og mine recently had them and there a pain to get rid of. First sign will of course be bite marks… a cluster of maybe 3-5 bumps in a line. Second, check your matress and sheets and you might find some reddish colored smudges on them. #rd of course will be to actually find the bugs. Sleep with a flashlight 1 night and when you feel something turn it on and you will likely see it cause there not that fast

They cause hard swollen welts on your skin. They become itchy, which can last for hours. They are nocturnal and do most of their biting just before dawn. So check around your bed about an hour before dawn, but be careful because they are fast and will run if you disturb them so you may not see them.
