While mattresses are one of their favourite hiding spots, bed bugs can spread throughout an entire room. So check bed frames, headboards, sofas and chairs, skirting boards, behind wallpaper and even electrical sockets. 2. Ignoring Tiny Signs. Tiny black faecal spots, shed skins and small blood stains on bedding or even a sweet, musty smell are sufficient enough to consider there's an infestation in your room. 3. Failing to Inspect After Travelling. When returning home, inspect suitcases carefully and wash clothes on a hot cycle. You should also check beds and furniture within a few days. 4. Assuming Clean Homes Cannot Get Bed Bugs. Bed bugs are not attracted to dirt or poor hygiene. They are attracted to warmth, carbon dioxide, and access to human hosts. 5. Relying Only on Bite Marks. Not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, and they are not reliable proof of an infestation. 6. Not Inspecting Nearby Furniture. Bed bugs do not always stay directly on the bed. If an infestation grows, they often spread to nearby furniture and soft furnishings. 7. Waiting Too Long to Call a Professional. It's tempting to rely on DIY treatments but you should call a pest control experts to confirm bed bugs are actually present. Over-the-counter sprays may kill some bugs but they will leave hidden eggs untouched. Contact The Bed Bug Doctor if you notice the signs of bed bugs.
