How Do You Know if You Have Bed Bugs in Your Home?

Bed bugs are one of the most common (and one of the most feared) pests in North Carolina, and here in Charlotte, we’re not immune.

Do you have bug bites on your body, but aren’t sure if bed bugs are to blame? Look for signs of the bugs themselves. If bed bugs are the cause of your discomfort, they’ll leave evidence behind. When you spot the warning signs of a bed bug infestation, let us know, and we’ll kick out the unwanted guests that have made themselves at home in your living space.

Symptoms of a bed bug infestation include:

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

What to Do If You Have Bed Bugs

If you have bed bugs, you are sure to find plenty of DIY bed bug removal solutions online that will tell you that you can get rid of bed bugs all on your own. But the truth is, bed bugs are a persistent pest, and many DIY solutions will ultimately not solve your bed bug problem in the long-term. To really take care of bed bugs for good, it’s best to contact a professional bed bug exterminator in Charlotte, NC.

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
