Bloodstains on sheets: Tiny, rust-colored stains from crushed bed bugs or bites. Dark spots on bedding: Fecal matter and exoskeletons left behind by bed bugs.

  4. Bed Bug Prevention Tips Now that you know how to identify bed bugs, let's discuss preventive measures you can take to protect your dorm room: 1. Keep Your Room Clean and Clutter-Free A well-maintained living space is less attractive to bed bugs. Regularly vacuum your room, including your mattress, to remove any potential hiding spots for bed bugs. Avoid clutter, as it provides additional hiding places. www.mdkpest.com

  5. 2. Use Protective Covers on Your Bedding Invest in mattress encasements and pillow covers designed to repel bed bugs. These covers create a barrier between you and any potential infestation, making it harder for bed bugs to establish themselves. www.mdkpest.com

  6. 3. Inspect Second-hand Furniture If you decide to bring in any second-hand furniture into your dorm room, thoroughly inspect it for signs of bed bugs. Pay particular attention to crevices, seams, and cracks where bed bugs love to hide. Consider using a bed bug spray on the furniture as an extra precaution before bringing it into your room. www.mdkpest.com

  7. 4. Be Cautious When Traveling Bed bugs can easily hitch a ride on your luggage when traveling. Before bringing your suitcase back into your dorm room, thoroughly inspect it and wash your clothes on high heat to kill any potential bed bugs. Avoid placing your luggage on the bed or floor during your trip. 5. Seal Cracks and Gaps Close off any cracks or gaps in the walls, floors, or furniture in your dorm room. Bed bugs can hide in these tiny spaces, and sealing them off will minimize their hiding spots. www.mdkpest.com

  8. 6. Wash and Dry Your Bedding Regularly Regularly wash your bedding, including sheets, blankets, and pillowcases, on high heat to kill any bed bugs or eggs. Dry them thoroughly in a hot dryer to ensure no survivors remain. 7. Report Infestations Immediately If you suspect or discover a bed bug infestation in your dorm room, report it to the housing department or residential staff immediately. They will have protocols in place to handle the situation and can provide assistance in resolving the issue. www.mdkpest.com
