Expert Answer

Yes, but I would make sure the infestation is under control first, or else the bed bugs may return.

Question

Can bed bugs stain carpet?

Community Answer

It depends on what carpet it is. If it's pretty thick, it is most likely that it won't be stained. If it's thin, it is probably going to get stained. If you don't want the stains to show on your carpets, you can use the "How to Get Rid of Bed Bug Stains" hacks or even try getting a darker colored carpet.
