The first sign indicating that bugs have appeared in the house are blisters on the skin - traces of their bites. Moreover, in the human head the thought of these insects comes at the very least.
The fact is that one insect bites several times a night, so in the morning a person wakes up with a mass of bites on his body and may assume that he has developed an allergic reaction (urticaria). But bites in children can really cause severe allergies.
Today we will talk about where the bed bugs live and how to get them out, can bugs live in pillows, blankets, on a person, for example, in their hair? How to detect bedbugs in bed or couch?
Important: If you notice reddening of the skin in the morning, after waking up, you should carefully examine the housing for the presence of parasites.
Where do bugs live in an apartment and how to get rid of them?
Domestic bugs are nocturnal, and during the day they hide in secluded dark places, closer to the food source, namely, to the human body. That is, it makes no sense to look for their nests in the kitchen or in the corridor, they live in the same place where they eat, respectively, first of all you need to examine the bed and the room itself.
How to find out if there are bugs in the apartment? Estimated Habitats:
- in mattress and pillow joints, in furniture grooves, in sofa upholstery, under a mattress;
- in the cupboard, under it and in the gap between the cupboard and the wall;
- under the baseboards, near the outlets;
- in the computer keyboard, in the system unit, vacuum cleaner, monitor;
- on the backs of wall paintings, clocks, frames with photos.
Although they are parasitic on humans, on his body or in his hair they do not live, because of their developed instinct of self-preservation. These insects lead a typical predatory way of life, they determine when the victim is asleep, and only then attack it. And the rest of the time they are hiding from people in dark and hard to reach places.
Thus, it is possible to detect nests and larvae of insects in the most inaccessible corners of the bedroom.
Bed bugs: how to detect?
Where do they live? First of all, regarding the location of bedbugs should inspect the bed or sofa, thoroughly inspect the bedding. The sheets may have brown spots of small diameter - these are traces of crushed insects.

Bedbugs never live alone. Even if you brought one female into the house, they will soon multiply. Nests can be found under the mattress, or on the back of the sofa or bed. In the nest you can see live individuals resembling apple seed and their larvae: white-transparent grains.

When detecting traces of parasites in the bed be sure to explore all the nooks of the room, in order to identify as many nests of these insects as possible, for further treatment with insecticides. Nooks are most often the habitat of individuals at the initial stage of development.
If the bugs settled only in a bed or a couch, then it would be better to change the furniture. However, if you have found several nests in different places, then it will be more effective to resort to the services of an exterminator than to try to fight them yourself.
