Bed bugs can be found in mattresses, couch cushions, under chairs, cracks in plaster, and in electronics. Bed bugs are found in hotels, apartments, dorm rooms, delivery vehicles, dry cleaners, jails, hospitals, churches, cruise ships, furniture rental stores and private homes. They can travel throughout a home or business. They can also attach to luggage.
Bed Bug bites, while rare for a time, are again becoming all too common. One of the primary reasons for the recent resurgence is that past pesticides used for treatment are losing their effectiveness at treating bed bugs today. New ways have been invented to eliminate infestations.

Bed Bug Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a disease from Bed Bugs?
To date there is not a know case of disease associated with bed bugs and most people are never aware they have been bitten. Bed bug bites usually look like little red bumps which can look a lot like mosquito bites and for those that have sensitive skin a allergic reaction can occur as in the picture below.
If you have such a reaction check with your doctor who may recommend an antihistamine or topical cream to relieve any itching and or burning. Do not scratch the bites as this may lead to infection.
How do bed bugs get into a home?
Usually from hitching a ride on clothing or furniture. Once the bed bugs are in your home they will gravitate to the sleeping area and will hide out in the following areas:
- Seams creases tufts and folds of the mattress and box springs
