Everyone has heard the phrase, "Don't let the bed bugs bite," but few people have encountered the headache of a bed bug infestation. That's why the expert exterminators at Denning Pest Control are here to help Jefferson City, MO, residents identify and get rid of bed bugs.

Though bed bugs are tiny insects, they can be a major nuisance. Typically they hitch a ride on luggage, clothing, or furniture brought into your home; keeping your home clean is irrelevant, as they can still find a way in if your house is totally spotless. Some of their favorite hiding spots are box springs, mattresses, or headboards, hence the name bed bug. They are so small they can also squeeze into cracks in your walls or underneath electrical outlets.

Bed bugs tend to come out and bite during the nighttime while everyone is asleep, which means you don't often see them in person. If you're concerned that your home is infested, you can inspect your bed or upholstered furniture for evidence of their presence. Signs include rust-colored stains on your sheets or dark spots of excrement around your mattress. However, the best way to know you have an infestation is to glimpse a live bed bug.
