Where to Use

 

Should you suspect bedbugs in your home, a thorough inspection should be done in all areas where you sleep or rest. Be mindful that bedbugs can fit into the tiniest of cracks and crevices.

Begin your search with your sheets, pillows and blankets. Check for live bugs, blood smears or fecal stains and cast skin or molting’s. Then, move on to the piping, seams and tufts of the mattress.

In early stages, you may not find anything at all. If you are dealing with an "infestation", you will certainly find signs.

Areas to focus your inspection on:

  • Seams, creases, tufts, and folds of the mattress and box spring
  • Cracks in the bed frame and headboard, and all screw holes
  • Between the cushions of upholstered furniture
  • Edges of carpets especially behind the bed
  • Between the folds of drapery or curtains
  • Night stand drawers, dressers, etc.
  • Behind the baseboards
  • Around door and window casings
  • Behind electrical switch and outlet covers
  • Under loose wallpaper, peeling paint, paintings, posters, etc.
  • Cracks in the plaster
  • In telephones, radios, clocks, and similar places
