Do Bed Bugs Smell? Although adult bed bugs are easily visible with the Unclad eye, they can be difficult to find. They often avoid light and motion by hiding in dark cracks and crevices during the day. But even if you don't see them, you might be able to smell them. Q: Do bed bugs smell? A: Like many species of bugs, bed bugs release odors called alarm pheromones. When a group of bed bugs gets disturbed, you may be able to smell that odor. Odors may also result from bed bug fecal material. The odor is described many different ways and has been compared to the smell of coriander, an herb. Older publications even refer to the bed bug as the coriander bug. Others describe the smell as "sweet" or "musty. " Q: What are signs of bed bugs? A: There can be many signs that you may have bed bugs, including bloodstains and skins from molting. Small dark brown or black stains on bedding, pillowcases and other furniture can also be a sign that bed bugs are present. Though many people first become aware of bed bug activity because they were bitten, a skin reaction alone does not necessarily indicate the presence of bed bugs. Many other insects, medical conditions, medicines, allergens and irritants can produce similar skin reactions.
