Key Takeaways

Bed bugs can be found in any place with high traffic and places to hide (hotels, public transportation, healthcare facilities, etc.) and hide in furniture, bedding, and more.
If you find bed bugs, avoid spreading them, wash your bedding on high heat, and call professional bed bug exterminators.
It can be easy to get bed bugs if you find yourself in a high-traffic area with lots of places for them to hide.
If you’re not sure if you have a mosquito or bed bug bite, pay attention to when you get the bite, what the bite looks like, and where it is on your skin.
While pillows are a place where bed bugs like to hide, they can also be found in luggage, wall cracks, electrical sockets, and other unexpected places.

So, you have a bed bug problem. Or at least you think you might. But the truth is you can pick up bed bugs in lots of unexpected places, like in the seams of chairs and couches, between cushions, folds of curtains, drawer joints, electrical receptacles and appliances, under loose wallpaper and wall hangings, at the junction where the wall and the ceiling meet, and (brace yourself) even in the head of a screw.

First, don’t panic. Bed bugs are (unfortunately) fairly common. About one in five Americans has had an infestation at least once, so don’t be ashamed. They can (and do) happen to any of us. The other thing to keep in mind is that while they can disrupt your bedroom and your life, a good, trustworthy bed bug control service can take care of the problem for you.

Where Are Bed Bugs Found?

Here are some of the locations where bed bugs commonly lurk:

Hotels & Motels
Nursing Homes
Schools & Daycare Centers
Office Buildings
College Dorms
Hospitals
Public Transportation
Planes
Trains
Cars
Thrift stores
Multi-Family Housing
Cruise Ships

Anywhere they can travel, from personal belongings to personal belongings, bed bugs will end up in furniture, floors, or walls.

What to Do if You Find Bed Bugs

Finding bed bugs can send anyone into a panic, but staying calm is the first step toward reclaiming your space. Here’s what we recommend:

Don’t relocate to another room. Bed bugs will follow you, potentially spreading the infestation throughout your home.
Wash and dry bedding on high heat. Bed bugs can’t survive extreme temperatures. Running your linens through a hot cycle can help eliminate some of the population.
Call the professionals. DIY solutions rarely address the full scope of an infestation. Our trained technicians know exactly where these pests hide and how to eliminate them for good.

The sooner you act, the easier the problem is to control. Don’t wait until the situation spirals, reach out to Dixon Pest Services at the first sign of trouble.
