Hi-Tech Pest Control • Michigan’s #1 Bed Bug Exterminator
It’s one of the most common questions we hear:
“I’m the only one getting bites — could it still be bed bugs?”
Yes. Not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, which is why being the “only one” with welts or itching doesn’t mean you’re imagining things. In fact, your reaction could be the first and only sign of a growing infestation.
Why Positive Identification Matters
Bed bugs are experts at hiding — they squeeze into mattress seams, recliner mechanisms, and bed frames. They need time to feed repeatedly and mature before they reach visible numbers. That means:
Why Some People React (and Others Don’t)
- Allergic Response: Some people don’t react to the saliva that causes itching and welts.
- Body Heat & CO₂: People who release more carbon dioxide or body heat may be “bed bug magnets.”
- Lotions & Cosmetics: Certain products can make you more attractive to feeding bed bugs.
So yes — you may be the only one itching, but the bed bugs are still biting everyone else, too. They just don’t react visibly.
Step 1: Confirm the Bites
If you’re unsure, see a doctor or dermatologist. They can often distinguish insect bites from rashes, hives, or allergies — giving you the confidence to take the next step.
Why Early Detection Saves You Money
Catching an infestation early means:
- Less furniture to treat
- Fewer rooms involved
- Lower treatment cost
- Faster results
And you get peace of mind sooner — which is priceless.
Step 2: Act Immediately
Once you suspect bed bugs:
- Do not wait to see more bugs. The longer you wait, the more they multiply.
- Do not start spraying DIY products. This usually just scatters them into walls and outlets.

Frequently Asked Questions Being the Only One Getting Bites
Q1: Can one person get bitten and others not at all?
A: Yes — some people have no visible reaction to bed bug bites. You may be the only one who shows welts, but the bugs are still feeding on everyone.
Q2: Do I have to actually see bed bugs to confirm an infestation?
A: No. Bites are usually the first and most important clue. Waiting until you see live bed bugs means the population has already grown significantly.
Q3: What are other early signs of bed bugs?
A: Small blood spots on sheets, tiny black fecal spots, and itching that appears overnight.
Q4: How soon can you treat if I call today?
A: We offer same-day service and eliminate infestations in one treatment — you’ll be bite-free the first night.
Q5: Do I have to throw out my mattress?
A: No. We treat, clean, and salvage mattresses, couches, and recliners so you don’t waste money replacing them.
