In many cases, people can have a Bed Bug Infestation in Phoenix, AZ, and not realize it for a very long time. This is because bed bugs are small and difficult to spot. They’re also nocturnal, which means you won’t find them roaming around during the day. Unless you happen to spot the area in which they’re nesting, you’ll have to try to catch them moving about in the dark.
There are a few places that bed bugs commonly choose as their nesting place, so you can check these areas first. They include bed headboards, nightstands, corners where the walls meet the ceiling, and areas on the wall where the wallpaper or paneling has loosened. You can also find them in creases or crevices near the bed, including the area between the mattress and the box spring or between the box spring and bed frame.
Bed bugs will stay mainly in the sleeping areas, so you should look for activity in the bedrooms. Bed bugs do shed their skin, so you may find the empty shells they leave behind. Similarly, you should look for their feces near the edges of your mattress or on the floor close to the bed. As you sleep, they will bite you around the ankles, so you may also find very small blood stains on your socks and on the fitted sheet covering your mattress.
