Bed bugs are experts at staying hidden, but they do have a fairly predictable set of favourite hiding spots.
The Most Common Spots
- Mattress seams, piping and tufts
- Bed frame joints and screw holes
- Behind headboards
- Skirting boards near the bed
- Bedside furniture and drawers
- Upholstered furniture nearby
Less Common but Possible Spots
In more established infestations, bed bugs can also be found in curtains, behind loose wallpaper, inside electrical fittings and even in wall cavities, though these are secondary to the more common spots above.
Why a Full Inspection Matters
Missing even one hiding spot can allow an infestation to persist after treatment, which is why a thorough professional inspection checks all likely areas, not just the obvious ones.
