As you can see by the chart above bed bugs are more likely to be in your bedroom versus any other area through out the dwelling.  Over 50% of the time as a matter of fact!

​

 Bed Bugs can be found throughout any structure, but they prefer to be within 20 feet of their host.  Despite popular belief they are not purely nocturnal, but they do tend to feed late at night due to the amount of C02 put out by potential host during sleep.  Bed bugs prefer dark spaces when dormant and are capable of hiding in any crack or crevice that they can fit into.  Boxsprings, mattresses, furniture, behind wall plates, & baseboards are popular spots for the pesky bed bug to hide, but they have been detected in other areas as well.   

 Bed bugs feed on blood!  Adults & large nymphs will void remains of earlier blood meals while feeding, which in turn will leave rusty or tarry spots on pillows and/or bed sheets.  If there are numerous of these rusty spots visible then there is most likely a heavy infestation that needs to be treated immediately.    

One major problem that people encounter is properly identifying bed bugs themselves. Often they are confused with german cockroaches, which are small roaches that tend to occupy a dwelling due to personal lifestyle & cleanliness.  It is crucial to properly identify bed bugs.
