Live or dead bed bugs, and cast skins. Live bed bugs will confirm that the infestation is currently active.

Eggs: cream in colour, approx. 1mm, which tend to be laid in crevices in dark areas.

Bed bugs can create a smell described as an herb. This is usually noticed in areas of a heavy infestations or if close to the bed bug.
