Bed bugs ?
Question:
Answers:
In the early stages of an infestation, bed bugs will be found around the seams and tufts of the mattress, while later on, they’ll spread to cracks in the bed frame and then to gaps behind baseboards, pictures, window and door casings, wallpaper, and other similar shelters.
Look for the insects, their cast skins, and eggs near crevices.
Check pillowcases, sheets, and the mattress for bloodstains, smears, or flecks (the sign of their feeding). When their populations are high, you may notice a pungent, sickly-sweet odor that’s smells like raspberries. Examine the room thoroughly, moving in a logical pattern. Use a flashlight to peer behind and underneath furniture and woodwork. Look under all items that are attached to or against the wall.
Check possible hiding places such as
seams, creases, tufts, and folds of the mattress and box spring
cracks in the bed frame and head board
underneath chairs, couches, beds, dustcovers
between the cushions of upholstered furniture
underneath area rugs and the edges of carpets
between the folds of drapery or curtains
in the drawers of night stands, dressers, etc.
behind the baseboards
around door and window casings
behind electrical switch plates
under loose wallpaper, paintings, posters, etc.
in cracks in the plaster
in telephones, radios, clocks,and similar places
Bed Bugs are the worst thing that could happen to a persons home and very hard to get rid of. I had a bed bug problem for over a year and even after 4 pest control treatments (professional) they didn’t go away. I eventually had to move to a new apartment. Heres an article I wrote on everything bed bugs, what to do, how to spot, etc.
