Where do I look for with Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs can be located by the presence of small reddish-brown to black fecal deposits on the walls or other areas where they might congregate or hide.

Once in the home, bed bugs become established in:

Any convenient crack or crevice

Along the seams or in the buttons of mattresses

The coils and frame of the box spring

Wooden bedsteads

Bed framing

Upholstered furniture

The backing of pictures

Window and door molding/framing

Behind wallpaper

Cracks in floors and ceilings

Between wooden floorboards

Behind switch plates, conduit etc.

 

In heavy infestations, they may be found in wall voids, attics or other enclosed places.
