Call todayThis spreads or does harm quickly. The sooner a pro sees it, the smaller the job.
How to tell
- Dots like a marker tip that smear when wiped with a damp cloth.
- Spots clustered along seams and piping.
- Pale shed skins or tiny white eggs nearby.
Do this now
- Wash and high-heat dry all bedding.
- Vacuum the mattress seams and bed frame, then bag the vacuum contents outside.
- Put a sealed mattress cover on after inspection.
Avoid
- Don't use bug bombs; they don't reach where bed bugs hide.
