You will not feel the bed bug bite when it occurs. This is because bed bugs inject an anesthetic and an anticoagulant that prevents a person from realizing they are being bitten. Pain from a bite can start anywhere from a few hours to a few days after the bite. The most common symptom from bed bug bites is the itching, which can be painful. Symptoms from bed bug bites get even worse if you scratch at the bite, which is why it’s so important to let the bites heal properly.
Most people do not have serious health issues when it comes to bed bug bites. For the most part, bed bug bites heal on their own in a week or two.

Infestations can be tricky, which is why it’s important to always enlist the help of a professional bed bug exterminator.
