5Check Common Areas
There are a few areas in the household that you can often notice the above-mentioned signs. Look closely at your bed frame and mattress. It is better to pull the bed away from the wall and examine the mattress seams, frame, and all joints. Pay attention to blood stains and excrement. Next, check underneath furniture and between the cushions. Bed bugs often live in those spaces where people often rest like couches, cribs, bassinets, chairs, or recliners. Also, do not forget fabric curtains, especially near the bottom. Pull them open and look into each fold to check for any hiding bed bugs. Make sure to look behind as well. [5]
