What are some of the signs that a store might have bed bugs?
The first clear sign of bed bugs would be identifying bites on employees’ bodies. The appearance of bed bug bites can vary drastically from one person to another, but typically speaking, they tend to surface in clusters of red, itchy welts on the appendages. If this becomes a noticeable trend amongst employees, it could be from bed bugs. Also, if you begin to see slight imperfections on clothing, like tiny red or rust colored dots, this could be because of bed bugs.
