Bed bugs are a nuisance pest and very hard to deal with. Therefore, it is best if bed bugs are dead as soon as possible, whatever method you use. Whether using spray or pesticide, hire an exterminator, or squeeze them in your hands.
Squeezing bed bugs could be a way to kill them frequently, but not an excellent approach to keep them at bay. However, compressing bed bugs doesn't result in multiplying them but can be the reason for much more infestation.
Bed bugs are tiny-sized, soft, and easy to squeeze, like a pea. Also, when Bed bugs are in the early stage (Nymphs), they are easier to press. If a bed bug is just fed, then it will burst out and will leave a musty smell and nasty stain behind. Whereas bed bugs that haven't been provided for long and have flat bodies are strenuous to squeeze.
Squeezing bed bugs is a suitable option as it allows you to kill them soon after observing these nasty little pests. It's straightforward to compress them by slamming something against them. But it can be more problematic sometimes.
One should void squeezing bed bugs, which may increase the problem. Killing bed bugs that we press will leave many more bed bugs behind that will continue to breed. And squeezing bed bugs may end up in an even worse infestation.
Do bed bugs pop?
Bed bugs pop in two cases. Either they have recently fed on blood or look oval shape and red-colored, or they are in the baby bed bug stage, not adult.
When dealing with bed bug infestation, you might have spotted a nasty red stain on your pillow or bed. That is proof that bed bugs pop at night after they have fed. Unfortunately, bed bugs also leave a musty smell around them, which is not always bearable.
Do bed bugs bite?
One of the factors for which bed bugs are known is their bites. Bed bugs bite you at your pale skin. And they stop biting you after just once. Instead, bed bug bites you in a sequence of rows or a batch of multiple bites.
Bed bug bites don't look like any other insect bites. Instead, bed bug bites cause an allergic reaction that causes the nearer area to swell up.
Bed bug uses their saliva to numb the surface before the bite. And which ends with a red bump that looks like a pimple. That makes people think it can pop just as they pop the pimple. But it's not the case that pimples can pop because of the force which occurs after a closed pore.
In the case of bed bugs, there is no force like that, so it cannot be popped.
Although some reports mentioned that crushing bed bug bites release white fluid, which is similar, simple, the reason behind this fluid is white blood cells. And it doesn't make the bed bug bite mark disappear as a pimple does.
Do bed bugs smell after smashing them?
The answer is "Yes, bed bugs smell when someone tries to kill or smash them. Their nature of releasing that nasty smell behind them makes them noticed by the world. And help them to come back home.
One big reason behind bed bugs' nasty smell is, alerting to other bed bugs' danger. When someone tries to kill bed bugs or fling them away, they leave this scent to make different bugs vigilant.
Ultimately, I suggest you use organic pest control to treat bed bugs instead of experiments by squeezing them.

This same text, word for word, about crushing bed bugs, is in many places on the internet It is vague and not explained or substantiated. Just more, written, but unchallenged BS noise on the internet.
Rent propane paint dryer and AFTER LEARNING SAFE USE OF THE UNIT seal the house and run dryer on a high setting for 14 hours- keep constant temperature of 120 degrees throughout ENTIRE building. Heat will kill adults nymphs and eggs if done correctly, at proper temp for enough time. This is a simplified version of the process but with a little research and self education one can learn a more detailed, SAFE method of killing the filthy b*stards. Propane can be dangerous so LEARN PROPER USE of this equipment. But this is a 100% guaranteed method of removal
The only way to get rid of them is to get rid of your mattresses and furniture, launder all clothing, bedding, stuffed animals, anything fabric. Saturate every inch of carpet with Hotspot bedbug spray, fog the whole house with Hotspot forgers. You miss one little thing – one pillow, one teddybear, a couple dirty shirts in the back of a closet, forget to spray one throw rug – and its all been for nothing and you are back to square one in your extermination.
The best prevention is being vigilant not to carry them home and to not let anyone bring them into your home. Dont let anyone in your home until you’ve had a chance to closely inspect their home for bugs. If you go anywhere and realize there are bedbugs (or roaches, ect), don’t carry them into your house. Before entering, do a “jumanji fire drill” by stripping off all clothes and shoes amd sealing them in plastic bags (including purses, backpacks, coats, toys ect) to be laundered to kill bugs and bug eggs. Shake out lobg hair and even spray ‘Off’ bug spray on it. Check each other’s backs (or check yourself in a mirror) for anything that latched on.
Be wary of any used clothing, shoes and furniture – even new furniture that may have been previously returned or thats delivered in trucks used to repossess beds and furniture. Carefully check hotel rooms and air bnb’s, and be aware that luggage can pick up bugs from other peoples bags during travel.
If you are in an apartment building with an infestation, then you can’t get rid of them; move and be very very careful not to take them to your new home.
