How to Check for Bed Bugs
Checking for bed bugs requires thorough examination and attention to detail. Start by inspecting the seams, folds, and crevices of mattresses and box springs, as bed bugs often hide in these areas. Look for rust-colored stains or dark spots, which could indicate bed bug excrement. Additionally, check behind headboards, along baseboards, and in cracks and crevices near the bed. Utilizing a flashlight and a magnifying glass can help in detecting these tiny pests.
If signs of bed bugs are found, it's essential to take prompt action to prevent further infestation and seek professional assistance if needed. Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control can confirm the extent of the infestation and promptly implement the right treatment to eliminate the problem and keep it from coming back.
Bed Bug FAQ
What Are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are nocturnal pests that hide in cracks and crevices during the day, typically coming out at night to feed. While they do not transmit diseases, their presence can lead to discomfort, itching, and allergic reactions in some individuals.
Where Do Bed Bug Like to Hide?
Bed bugs nearly impossible to find outdoors, and they’re also incredibly difficult to find once they get into your house simply because they’re so adept at hiding in fabrics and textiles.
Bed bugs can be found in all of the following:
- Carpets
- Furniture upholstery
- Bed sheets
- Clothing and laundry piles
- Closets & dressers
- Mattresses
Itchy bedbug sores are the tell-tale sign that you have a bed bug infestation. If you notice that whatever part of your body that you sleep on seems to have an abundance of itchy and painful welts (your back, torso, or sides), then there’s a strong chance your mattress has been invaded by bed bugs.
