The trickiest part of dealing with bed bugs is how great they are at hiding. They can compress every part of their body to fit within the tightest of spaces, so it is easy to miss these tiny bugs when they are not feeding. Contrary to their straightforward name, bed bugs do not only live in our beds. Their only requirements for a habitat are for it to be warm, dark, and hidden from any other creatures. They prefer to live in close proximity to humans at all times, but they can survive by going into hibernation mode if they cannot find a meal for an extended amount of time. 

In any Creve Coeur home or business, the most common hiding spots of bed bugs include:

• Beds (mattress, sheets, boxspring, headboard, pillows)
• Couches and sofas
• The seams and crevices of chairs
• Electrical outlets
• Curtains
• The joints of drawers
• Behind wallpaper
• Under loose wall hangings
• Wall voids
• The edge of carpets and rugs
• Bags, backpacks, and suitcases
