Bedbugs are concentrated in areas where people are resting. They are typically found in beds (mainly the box spring) and bedrooms, recliners, upholstered chairs and sofas. Because bedbugs feed on blood, you may see evidence of blood on your mattress as well as visible bites on your body. Bedbug elimination requires diligent action from the homeowner to perform tasks such as vacuuming, laundering of bedding & clothing, and reducing the clutter in which bed bugs can hide. Particular attention must include a thorough inspection of backpacks, computer bags, purses, etc in which bed bugs can be moved from one location to another.
It is important to NOT discard infested furniture at least until it is treated and an infestation is controlled. When you move infested furniture, a few bad things can happen. As you are moving it, bed bugs can fall off and then end up in new places and without their normal place to go back to (bed bugs can detect the place that they are familiar with by their smell – pheromone) those bed bugs can now infest other areas of the house.
