How Common Are Bed Bugs in Hawaii?
While Hawaii is not ranked in the top bed bug-infested cities in the U.S., it doesn’t mean we’re free from these pests. Bed bug cases in Hawaii are still reported, and we frequently receive calls and inquiries from local residents. Bed bugs are global travelers, and their infestations can occur in homes, hotels, and offices across the islands.
What Are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. They feed on the blood of humans and animals, usually at night while you sleep. Though bed bugs prefer dark environments, they will still bite even if lights are on. A bed bug can survive for months without feeding, making them a persistent problem once inside your home.
How Do Bed Bugs Get Into Homes?
Bed bugs are notorious hitchhikers. They latch onto luggage, furniture, clothing, and even personal items like backpacks and purses. Travel is one of the most common ways bed bugs spread, but you can also bring them home from used furniture or clothing. Bed bugs are found in hotels, gyms, offices, and even public transportation, so it’s important to be cautious after visiting these places.
What Are the Signs of Bed Bugs?
- Blood stains: Small reddish stains on sheets, pillows, or mattress covers from bed bugs feeding.
- Fecal spots: Tiny dark spots, resembling ink, on bedding or furniture.
- Musty odor: A distinct, musty smell may indicate an infestation.
- Skin shedding: Bed bugs shed their exoskeletons as they grow, which may appear in crevices around your bed.
- Bite marks: While everyone reacts differently to bed bug bites, they often appear as red, itchy welts, commonly mistaken for mosquito bites.

FAQ & Answers
What are the early signs of a bed bug infestation?
Do bed bugs in Hawaii carry diseases?
No, bed bugs are not known to spread diseases to humans or pets. However, their bites can cause itching, discomfort, and in severe cases, lead to skin infections if scratched excessively. Bed bugs are considered a nuisance pest rather than a health hazard.
How fast can a bed bug infestation grow in my home?
Bed bugs reproduce quickly, with a single female laying up to 200-500 eggs in her lifetime. Infestations can grow rapidly if not treated, as bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices during the day and come out to feed at night. It’s important to address an infestation as soon as it’s suspected.
Is professional bed bug treatment necessary, or can I handle it myself?
While there are DIY treatments available, they are often ineffective at completely eliminating bed bugs. Bed bugs are experts at hiding in hard-to-reach areas, and professional treatment ensures thorough removal. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure your home is fully treated and protected from future infestations.
What precautions can I take to avoid bringing bed bugs into my home after travel?
To avoid bringing bed bugs home, inspect your hotel room for signs of bed bugs, such as stains on sheets or mattress seams. Keep luggage off the floor, and when you return home, wash and dry all clothes on high heat. Additionally, vacuum your luggage thoroughly before storing it away. Avoid buying used furniture without first inspecting it for signs of bed bugs.
