How long does it take for bed bug bites to appear?
Hi there.
24 hours ago I woke up and noticed I had a few red marks on my arms, mostly around my elbow. I am 99% sure that it is bed bugs as I have had them before 5+ years ago. I slept in a different room (couch in the lounge) this morning but a few more have shown up. I guess it is possible that there are bugs on the couch also, but I highly doubt it as that is the main "family get together point" so other people would have marks also.
I am wondering how long it can take the bite marks to appear? I think I got bitten 24 hours earlier but only now some of them are showing up.
Thanks.
10 points will be given.

LISTEN TO ME PLEASE
chances are if you think you got them....you have them. trust me we know the warning signs of these little pests!
i have been through it all girl!
first thing you need to do, is dont waste any money on speacil sprays! get alchol and 3 bodels the least! then get posion powder for bugs that breaks there shells when they conact the bed bugs or any other bug. and t last, but not least, a mattress cover and garbage bags. Thats it !
now you can all get this in your 99cents store.
1rst - put all fabrics cloths in a bag
2nd- clean up all your clutter mess in your room, mop swaep etc. they love clutter
3rd- once you have all your cloths in bags and your room in clean. take a spray bodel and spray every nok in your room in were you think there hiding, doesnt have to be evey single place but defently holes in the walls . ( remeber they can travel through walls )
4th- take your posion powder and put that every were you cant put water like electronics etc also dont forget to get it in every intrence of the floor in your house . that way they dont travel
5th- finally spay your bed down from the creases and the bed frame to the floor spray it with alchol and appy powder
6th- put a matress cover on your bed and seal the zipper of the matress cover with some tape.
7th- last but not least sporate your bed away from the wall! cause they can very well travel through walls make sure nothing is touching that wall. and every night you have to spray down your mattress cover and have that bodel near you when you sleep so that if you feel an ich you spray the bastered and its dead
this worked for me and it helped me alot
hope this helps you too
o and dont forget to keep your cloths in bags for several mouths and wash them with hot water
