Bed bugs are hitchhikers that travel on luggage and used furniture — not a sign of a dirty home. They spread fast between rooms and units and resist DIY treatment.
Small (apple-seed-sized), flat, reddish-brown insects that hide in mattress seams, box springs, and furniture cracks.
What attracts them: Travel, second-hand furniture, and shared walls — they're drawn to warmth and carbon dioxide, not filth.
Right away — DIY sprays scatter bed bugs and make them harder to eliminate. Professional treatment and follow-up verification is essential.
