Where Do Bed Bugs Usually Hide?
Bed bugs are nocturnal and mainly active at night, so what happens when the sun comes up? Bed bugs do not usually crawl for long distances and don’t have wings, so they tend to stay near potential blood meal hosts. Evidence of where bed bug infestations may be found in a bedroom includes the bed frame, mattress, and box spring. Bed bugs are only attached to hosts’ bodies during blood feeding. Between blood meals, bed bugs can also be found nearby in the future, behind wallpaper, and under the edge of the carpet. Their flattened shape makes it easy for the parasites to quickly hide in cracks and crevices, including walls, wood floors, electrical outlets, and other narrow spots inside and outside your home or another area.
While bedrooms tend to harbor more bed bugs than other household locations, it should be noted that they can hide anywhere people tend to sleep or rest. Some other hiding spots include Cushions in movie theaters and airplanes, seats in buses and cabs, chairs in break rooms, storage areas, offices, or lounges with upholstered furniture. To minimize the risk of a bed bug infestation, consider taking precautions such as putting your purse on your lap instead of on the ground at an airport and placing luggage in the bathroom on a hard, uncarpeted service in hotel rooms until you inspect the room for any potential signs of bed bug activity.
Signs of Bed Bug Infestation
Shed Skins of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs will exfoliate and shed their skin before each new life stage. You can find these shredded skins all the time lying around areas of infestation, such as in the edges and crevices of the mattress that serve
as a hiding place.
Bites and Itching
There would most likely be bed bugs around when you notice red, itchy marks when you wake up. Bed bugs are more active at night, and that’s when they feed themselves by piercing your skin and feeding from 3 to 10 minutes. Some people may consider it mosquito bites. That’s why you should confirm the bed bugs presence and whereabouts immediately.
Odor
There is often a telltale odor in a building with a great bed bug infestation. Although bed bug dogs can detect a small number of bed bugs, a heavy infestation leaves a smell that many describe as like coriander.
Blood
Bed bugs are known to dribble. As a result, blood spotting and blood streaks are helpful indicators. These stains can appear red if found quickly but are more frequently found after they have dried and turned brown. The regular appearance of blood stains should be inspected immediately.
