Bedbugs are stealthy pests. They don’t leave many indications of their presence – except for the itchy and unsightly bites on your skin! The best way to detect an infestation is to see these incredibly tiny bugs with your own eyes. Due to their minute size and sneaky behaviour, it can be difficult to exterminate without proper professional help once a colony of bedbugs infest a home or premise.

They are tiny, reddish-brown, nocturnal feeders primarily attracted to warm-blooded hosts like humans and animals. They hide in challenging spots such as bedding and furniture cracks, seams, and crevices. This category comprises common bed bug species that are less widespread than the two main types, tropical and common bed bugs. Examples include bat and bird bugs. These uncommon insects may look and behave similarly, selecting various hosts such as birds or bats.

Types found in Singapore

Look out for brown masses, blobs, shadows or splotches that seem to be alive and moving.


Look out for dark brown spots or eggshell-looking remnants in the crevices of your bedsheets or pillowcases.


You might smell a repulsive odour coming off your pillowcases or bedsheets, which comes from the glands of the bedbugs.

Prevention Advice

  • Remove all bed covers and comb for signs of bugs or droppings.
  • Remove the dust cover over the bottom of the box springs.
  • Check any bed wood framing.
  • Lift all coverings on top of wood frames.
