What Bed Bugs Look Like
Adult bed bugs are oval-shaped, wingless insects that are brown in color. In adulthood, they measure between 4mm-5mm in length. Nymphs (baby) bed bugs are much smaller and can be difficult to see with the naked eye.
Where Bed Bugs Come From
Bed bugs are very good at travelling, and they usually latch onto something with a fabric surface to get around. This can be anything from luggage, purses, and backpacks to used furniture.
Bed bugs are also able to travel between rooms in places like apartment complexes, hotels, and multi-unit buildings. This means that bed bugs can make their way into almost any home after something as common as a family vacation or the purchase of some used furniture online.
Where Bed Bugs Hide
Bed bugs hide in a number of unusual places. If you think you might have a bed bug infestation, you’ll want to check:
The edges of electrical outlets
The seams of chairs and couches
Between cushions
In the folds of curtains
Spaces where walls and ceilings meet
On and under box springs
Any other small crack around the home
Are Bed Bugs Only Found in Beds?
Because of their name, most people assume that bed bugs are usually found in beds and feed on their victims as they sleep. But the reality is that bed bugs can strike at any time, from a variety of hiding places throughout your home.
These pests love to nest in all kinds of upholstery and have even been known to hide in the wooden furniture or structures near your favorite resting places.
Bed bugs also love to nest in:
Couches and sofas
Upholstered chairs and benches
Cushions and pillows
Under loose wallpaper, wall hangings, or curtains
Door jams and drawer joints
Inside appliances
