Bed Bugs
Got bed bugs and unsure where they’re hiding? Wondering what these pesky critters look like or how to get rid of them? You’re in the right place!
About Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown insects that feed on human and animal blood, often at night while you sleep. Though they don’t spread disease, their bites can cause itchy welts and restless nights. Adults are about 5–7mm long and swell after feeding, while nymphs are smaller and pale. Eggs are tiny, white, and hidden in cracks. Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, box springs, furniture, carpets, and wall crevices—making them hard to spot until bites appear.
Risks & Concerns
While bed bugs don’t transmit diseases, they cause significant discomfort:
- Bites: Bed bug bites can cause itchy, red welts, often appearing in clusters. These bites are commonly found on exposed skin, such as the arms, neck, or face.
- Sleep Disruption: The stress of knowing you have bed bugs can result in sleep deprivation and anxiety.
- Psychological Impact: Just knowing they’re in your home can lead to embarrassment and anxiety. The fear of being infested again may cause ongoing stress.
Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?
Bed bugs love small, dark spaces close to where you sleep. Common hiding spots include:
- Mattresses & Box Springs: These are prime spots for bed bugs to lay eggs and hide.
- Furniture: Bed bugs can live in couches, chairs, and any other furniture near the bed.
- Baseboards, cracks, and crevices: They sneak into the tiniest gaps, making them difficult to detect.
- Behind Picture Frames and Electrical Outlets: Bed bugs are resourceful and will hide in any concealed space close to you.
- Inspect Secondhand Furniture: Always inspect furniture before bringing it into your home.
- Use Bed Bug Mattress Encasements: Protect your mattresses and box springs with special covers that trap bed bugs inside.
- Seal Cracks & Crevices: Bed bugs will sneak into any tiny gap. Seal up cracks in walls, floors, and baseboards.
- Be Careful When Traveling: Always check hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs. Inspect the bed, furniture, and even behind the headboard.
