How to Identify a Bed Bug Infestation

Early signs of bed bugs can include:

Bites: Bed bugs often bite sensitive areas of the skin while you sleep. Bites may appear as red, itchy welts or rashes, sometimes in a line or cluster.
Blood Stains: Small, reddish-brown stains on sheets or pillowcases could come from crushed bed bugs or blood from their feeding.
Dark Spots: Dark, rusty-colored spots on bedding, mattresses, or walls may be bed bug excrement.
Bed Bug Shells: Bed bugs shed their exoskeletons as they grow. These shells may collect near their hiding places.
Live Bugs: Adult bed bugs are small (about 1/4 inch), reddish-brown, and flat. Nymphs are smaller and lighter in color. Both are often found in the seams of mattresses, box springs, and bed frames.
Musty Odor: A heavy infestation might produce a musty, sweet smell from the bed bugs’ scent glands.
Eggs and Nymphs: Bed bug eggs are tiny, white, and oval-shaped. Nymphs resemble adults but are smaller and lighter.
Hiding Spots: Bed bugs can hide in cracks and crevices around the bed, including the frame, headboard, carpet, and wallpaper.

If you notice these signs, contact a professional to confirm the infestation and recommend treatment. Bed bugs can be difficult to eliminate on your own.

Quik-Kill Bed Bug Elimination Process

Our tried-and-tested three-step process combines inspection, treatment, and scheduled re-inspections to address remaining bed bug activity.

Free Inspection

One of our licensed and certified technicians will inspect your property to confirm whether bed bugs are present, measure the extent of the infestation, and identify affected areas. Afterward, your technician will provide a free quote based on the property and the severity of the problem.

You’ll also receive a Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators bed bug treatment preparation kit with the information needed to prepare your property for effective treatment.

Treatment

Once the property is prepared, your technician will combine conventional and steam-based treatment methods. The technician will apply conventional products to cracks, crevices, nightstands, and non-upholstered furniture before using steam treatment for broader coverage.

Follow-Up

Two weeks after the initial treatment, your technician will return to re-inspect the property. If bed bug activity remains, the technician will perform another complete treatment. A further re-inspection follows two weeks later, and the treatment and re-inspection cycle continues if activity is still found.

Each re-inspection guides the next step, keeping treatment focused on areas where bed bug activity persists.

Why Bed Bugs Are a Nightmare

Bed bugs have a reputation as nature’s hitchhikers, and with good reason. A pervasive nuisance across the Midwest, they’re excellent climbers and are notorious for finding their way into human residences and businesses. They latch onto luggage, purses, backpacks, clothing, and even the skin of unaware people and pets.

Bed bugs have plagued human settlements for thousands of years, bringing itchy bumps, skin irritation, and allergic reactions with them. Because they travel on personal belongings and hide in small spaces, an infestation can spread throughout a property before the bugs become readily visible.

Why Bed Bugs Require Professional Treatment

Their small size and ability to enter tiny nooks and crevices make bed bugs exceptionally difficult to eliminate. In the 2025 National Pest Management Association Bugs Without Borders survey, 24% of pest management professionals ranked correctly identified bed bugs as the single most difficult pest to control.

Do-it-yourself heat or freezing methods can be ineffective or dangerous. The Environmental Protection Agency warns that attempted heat treatments can cause house fires and advises using EPA-registered pesticides labeled for bed bug control according to their label directions.

If bed bugs have entered your property, a complete professional plan addresses affected areas, hidden activity, and follow-up inspections. With bed bugs, thorough treatment matters. Our licensed and certified Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators technicians can help address activity throughout your property.

Bed Bugs in Iowa Rental Properties

Under Iowa Code § 562A.15, landlords must keep rental premises fit and habitable and maintain common areas in a clean and safe condition. Iowa Legal Aid interprets this duty to include eliminating bed bugs when the tenant didn’t cause the infestation. Responsibility can depend on the circumstances when the cause is disputed.

Iowa Legal Aid advises tenants to report the infestation in writing and allow the landlord seven days to address it before ending a rental agreement when the landlord doesn’t act. Tenants can’t simply stop paying rent because of a bed bug problem. This is general information rather than legal advice, so tenants with unresolved disputes should seek guidance based on their specific situation.
