How do bed bugs get into my home?
Bed bugs are often carried into a home on objects such as furniture and clothing.
If you think you have a bed bug problem, check for live bed bugs or shells in the following areas:
Seams, creases, tufts and folds of mattresses and box springs
Cracks in the bed frame and head board
Under chairs, couches, beds, dust covers
Between the cushions of couches and chairs
Under area rugs and the edges of carpets
Between the folds of curtains
In drawers
Behind baseboards, and around window and door casings
Behind electrical plates and under loose wallpaper, paintings and posters
In cracks in plaster
In telephones, radios, and clocks Bed bugs can also travel from apartment to apartment along pipes, electrical wiring and other openings. If the infestation is heavy, a sweet smell may be noticed in the room.
