Bed bugs are small insects that can infest your mattress, sofa, carpeting, and furniture joints. If you're struggling to spot bed bugs, you can make them come out of hiding with a few simple methods. Try aiming a hairdryer where you think the bed bugs are lurking. Bed bugs are sensitive to heat, and the hairdryer will make them come out of their hiding spot. There are also commercial bed bug traps you can buy and place around your furniture. You can also use a bright flashlight to help you search for the bugs in dark places. When you spot some, use a credit card or another thin object to scrape them into a pile. Then, collect them with a cloth or piece of sticky tape and throw them in the trash. For more tips from our Pest Control co-author, including how to lure bed bugs out with your body, read on.
