Where are the bugs hidden in the apartment

In rare cases, they bite pets, rodents, birds. Comfortable for them is the same temperature as for a person, so you should start looking for where the bugs are hiding in places of rest and sleep.

Where do they come from

Bed bugs can settle and hide in suitcases, they can be brought from a business trip, travel, brought from a place of work, a gym, a bath, purchased with antique furniture. They live in medical facilities, can move from neighborsstay after the previous owners. You can find out that bed bugs appeared in the apartment by the following signs:

• Bad smell. It is quite specific, secreted by a special gland present on the body of the insect, therefore bedbugs stink. You can clearly hear where the nest of parasites is located, you can see how it looks in the photo. Parasites live in it, they differ in sizeby age. Next to them are the eggsexcrement. Sometimes finding a nest is very difficult. We must proceed from the fact that bedbugs love nooks that are well protected from light, because during the day they sit motionless, not betraying their presence in the house.
  

  

• Traces. Insects leave behind traces in the form of feces, which can be near the places of greatest congestion. They look like small black dots resembling ground pepper. Plus - a specific smell. If such blood spots are on the bed, it’s immediately clear where the bugs live. The cause of the appearance of blood traces may be his "killing" during how the bug bites, a man mechanically tries to throw him off, under the weight of his weight saturated bloodsucker, you can simply crush. As a result, blood flows from it to the bed. Insects do not have glands secreting secretion, with the help of which blood coagulation occurs. Therefore, the smallest droplets remain in the place of bites. You can check if there are bugs in the house at night with a white sheet after the treatment. By spreading it and turning on the light, you can immediately detect insects.
• Bites They will also help you find out if bed bugs are found in the apartment. On the skin in place bedbugs blisters appear, swelling near them, and small droplets of blood on top. Itching also appears, sometimes severe pain is felt. Nearby on the human body can be about 3-7 bites, which are located close to each other.

The note! Bed bugs breed fast, which is the main reason for their appearance. Once in a new habitat, they instantly spread throughout the premises. The fight will be much more effective if fight bugs joint efforts with neighbors.

Where to looking for

If we are talking about bed bugs, then you can already understand from the name where they like to live, but bloodsuckers live in other places, so we will consider this question more broadly and find out where the bugs still live.

• Mattresses. They are the most dangerous. Bed bugs They love to live in them, it is here that they live, from there they get to bed. Carefully check the seams, folds on the bed, the holes in the sheet. Parasites also like to live in pillowcase pillows, because they create suitable conditions: heat, human proximity and humidity. Because the bed bugs do not like lights, blankets and sheets are not the things where bed bugs can be found. But the duvet cover needs to be examined carefully. For a long time they do not stay in it, since it is washable. An extreme case when bedding in the house is rarely washed.
  

  

• Furniture in the bedroom. Parasites wind up in sofas or beds. Often in folding products, the frame is made of wood. Over time, cracks and cracks form in it, those habitats that bed bugs love. Especially they "respect" soft upholstery, in which there are folds, seams, a fleecy surface. You should also pay attention to bed frames, especially at the head of the bed.
• Indoor furniture. Bed bugs like to be found in closets. They can hide in chips, cracks, at the joints of shelves. Finding them there is much easier than in mattresses or pillows.
• Curtains, curtains, clothes. Knowing that the apartment has bed bugs, clothes, curtains must be checked. If there are a lot of insects, they can definitely populate them. Unlike linen, curtains and curtains are much less likely to be washed, and bedbugs seem to know this and are happy to hide in their folds.
• Skirting boards, slots, doors, windows, paintings, wall and floor carpets, laminate. If the population of bloodsuckers has increased sharply, then the bugs necessarily live in these places. Glancing at them, you can easily find them. It can be single individuals or whole nests.
