Bed Bug Control and Extermination

Bed bugs hide in and around beds and other furniture, allowing them to feed on people, usually while they sleep.  They are also good at hiding in luggage and other personal belongings, and that's how they typically find their way into a home.  After being introduced into a home, they hide in the mattresses and boxsprings, headboard and railings, baseboards, night stands, electrical sockets and wall coverings.  They can also be found in picture frames, behind wallpaper, and anywhere else near where people sleep.

Although bed bugs are not known to carry diseases, bed bug bites can become itchy red welts, similar to mosquito bites.
