How do Bed Bugs Get In and Where Do They Come From?

Bed bugs can enter our homes in a variety of ways and they often they hitch a ride on the clothes, luggage or items visitors bring in. Bed bugs are carried in by unsuspecting homeowners in our own stored items like bedding, and towels and they frequently come in from used clothing, bedding and mattresses and furniture purchased from garage and estate sales, thrift stores and consignment shops.

How to Spot Bed Bugs in Your Home or Business

If you wake up itching and scratching, you might assume that you have bed bugs, but these tiny creatures are exceedingly difficult to spot, so here are a few signs to look out for.

  • Any part of your body that contacts sheets, mattress, carpeting, or furniture infested by bed bugs could show tiny red bite marks, so check arms, legs, back, feet and ankles.
  • Look for small brown or red spots or smears on bedding and furniture where bed bugs are suspected.
  • If you look carefully, bed bugs will be visible under a mattress or in tiny cracks and crevices near infested areas
  • Bed bugs can leave a musty odor on your mattress and bedding

Matt Conrad, General Manager of All Star Pest Control, adds, “I have found oftentimes that almost all infestations and egg sites are more frequently under the box spring area than anywhere else. They hide there more often than anywhere else in the house because that is the safest spot closest to their food source.”
