If you just found out that you have bed bugs or are worried that they will infest your home, you don’t have to spend a lot of time and energy worrying. Protecting your home is easy with Bed Bug Covers by Airtight Mattress Encasement. The risk of using an uncovered mattress or box spring is that bed bugs can easily get into the soft material and survive. One way is through tiny holes called breathing pores. The challenge with trying to locate a bed bug infested mattress is that they can be found in any area of the mattress’s surface, inside and outside. The best protection against bed bugs is to use bed bug covers as a barrier to keep them out. Bed bugs are disgusting. They suck your blood while you sleep and ruin your sheets, mattress and even pillows. They multiply at lightning speed and there is no sign of them until it’s too late.

Bed Bug Cover

A bed bug infestation can be difficult to identify, but careful examination of your home can help you figure out if you have them.

Bed bugs are small and difficult to detect. To determine if your home is infested, you’ll need to carefully examine all areas of the house. Bedbugs will usually hide in cracks and crevices around the bed and mattress seams, but they can also be found in other hiding places around the house such as under carpeting or inside furniture. You may not see live bedbugs during an inspection, but you may find their eggs or fecal matter (looks like black specks).

How to Detect a Bed Bug Infestation

Bed Bug Droppings (Frass)

Bed bugs leave behind fecal matter, or “frass,” which appears as dark spots on sheets and other fabric. Inspect your mattress and box spring for these dark brown or black spots every time you change the sheets or do a load of laundry. You can identify frass by its fine granular consistency, which can be compared to talcum powder or sawdust. If you find any bed bug droppings on your bedding, be sure to check other areas of your home for signs of infestation: look in furniture crevices and along baseboards near beds; inspect under rugs with an ultraviolet light; look for small bloodstains along seams where fabric meets wood flooring or wallboard (these are often found around electrical outlets); examine cracks between tiles or grout lines in ceramic flooring; check corners behind picture frames and baseboards; inspect night lights/electrical outlets/walls near lights where they join together (this is one area where they may enter through tiny seams).

You can find bed bugs or signs of bed bug infestations in mattress seams, bedframe joints and other hiding places. The adult bugs are reddish-brown, oval and flattened. They are visible but lucky you — they don’t fly! They like to hide under mattresses, in blankets and sheets when they are not feeding on human blood.

Bed bugs hide in seams and crevices of mattress and bed frame. They are oval and flattened, and reddish-brown in color. The adults are visible but they don’t fly! Bed bugs prefer to hide under mattresses, in blankets and sheets when they are not feeding on human blood.

With the right equipment, you can easily find mattress seams that have been damaged by bed bugs or signs of an infestation such as small spots of blood or fecal matter (aka “bites”) on your mattress. If you have found signs of an infestation, it’s time to take action!

If you’ve found a possible infestation, here’s what to do next:

If you suspect bed bugs in your home, call a professional pest control company and have them do an inspection. Don’t try to treat the infestation on your own; this can lead to more problems than if you left it alone and called someone who knows what they’re doing.

Don’t spray pesticides on your mattress; this will only make things worse and can damage the fabric of your mattress.

Don’t throw away your mattress just because there are signs of a possible infestation; this will only cost more money later when it’s time for replacement. Instead, keep it until all traces of bed bugs have been eliminated from the home (or until you’re absolutely sure there never were any).

1. Check the seams of your mattress for signs of an infestation. If possible, use a flashlight to look at the seams. You’ll see dark spots along the edges or seams of the mattress that indicate bedbugs eggs or excrement (also called “frass”). Examine your box spring the same way. These are two common places to find these pests.

• Look for rips and tears in upholstered furniture, especially if it has been used by pets or children who may have scratched at it with their fingernails, which can cause small tears.
• Look for evidence that an animal has nested inside your furniture: feathers, hairballs and/or droppings from rodents like mice and rats can indicate an infestation is occurring in a piece of furniture; you may see similar signs if there are animals nesting inside wall cavities as well!
• If any of these signs are present on your couch or chair (or any other piece of furniture), then chances are good that there’s been an infestation taking place there recently!
