Bed bugs can hide in mattresses, bed frames, furniture, cracks, and other hard-to-see areas, so simply washing bedding may not resolve the entire problem. Start by checking the mattress seams, bed frame, nearby furniture, and surrounding areas for signs of activity.

If you suspect an infestation, professional treatment is often the most effective approach because the source and extent of the problem need to be properly assessed. It’s also important to follow preventative advice after treatment to reduce the chance of the infestation returning.
