Look under furniture, behind walls and on the seams of mattresses. If you find any evidence of bed bugs, call an exterminator immediately as this will help prevent them from spreading throughout your home.

Check secondhand furniture and beds before bringing them into your home.

If you’re moving into a new apartment or house, check secondhand furniture and beds before bringing them into your home. Bed bugs can live for months without eating, so even if you don’t see any bed bugs on the item, there may be some inside it waiting to get out.

Bed bugs are very small and can hide in the tiniest of cracks. If an infested item is moved into a new location where there aren’t any other creatures to feed on (like cats or dogs), those hungry bed bugs will come out looking for something else to eat! Bed bugs prefer feeding on humans because their blood contains a lot more protein than most other mammals’ blood does; however they’ll settle for whatever they can find if humans aren’t around – including pets!

Watch out for cracks or other openings that may allow bed bugs to enter your home.

Bed bugs can travel in luggage, so it’s important to check your suitcase before you take it on a trip. Even if you don’t see any signs of bed bugs, the pests could be hiding under your clothes or among the zippers, where they’re hard to detect.

You should also inspect your home for cracks or other openings around baseboards and door frames for signs of an infestation as well as along window frames and electrical outlets. If you find any small holes where bedbugs might enter your home, seal them off with caulk or tape until they can be professionally repaired by a pest control company (more on this below).

Regularly clean your floors with a strong vacuum cleaner. Change the vacuum bag after each use, and then place it in a sealed bag and put it in the trash outside.
