The direct answer
Bites alone cannot identify bed bugs. Look for physical signs such as live insects, shed skins and dark marks around mattress seams, then arrange confirmation.

Check the sleeping area
Inspect accessible seams, frame joints and the headboard area. Use a clear photograph rather than handling an unknown insect.
Avoid spreading belongings
Do not move suspect furniture or bedding into another room without advice. Containment and preparation should match the actual treatment plan.
Ask about follow-up
Successful management may require monitoring and further visits. Agree the scope and responsibilities before treatment.
Make the next step a useful one.
Keep a short record of what you have noticed and ask JSS to assess the property. Your service scope, price and any treatment-specific safety instructions should be clear before work begins.
