Where Can Bed Bugs Be Found?
Bed bugs can hide in various locations where they can latch on, including:
- Mattress seams and box spring folds
- Bed frames, headboards, nightstands, and dressers
- Lamps, clocks, phones, and other small items
- Curtains and other types of window coverings
- Carpet, baseboards, and trim moldings
- Behind loose wallpaper edges and picture frames
- Electrical outlets and switch boxes & covers
- General clutter around sleeping areas
- Sofas, recliners, and upholstery furnishings
Other Indicators of Bed Bug Infestations
You may also notice additional signs that suggest a bed bug problem. Look for:
- "Blood stains" on your sheets or pillows.
- Shed bed bug exoskeletons.
- Dark spots resembling "dirt" on walls, baseboards, or bedding.
- A musty odor, which is common in more severe infestations.
Previously, it was thought that bed bugs only infested unsanitary or lower-income environments. However, today’s bed bugs are not restricted by social or economic boundaries and can be found wherever people live and gather.
What are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, are attracted to human body heat and the exhaled carbon dioxide of humans at rest. About the same size as ticks or small cockroaches, adult bed bugs are reddish-brown or mahogany in color and flat, measuring up to 3/16th of an inch. Female bed bugs are round, while males are more oval shaped. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed.
Nocturnal, bed bugs hide during the day, coming out at night to feed on human hosts. They have the ability to sense when a person is sleeping, allowing them to feed at night in secret and then scurry away before the person wakes up.
