Where Exactly Are Bed Bugs Hiding—And How Do I Find Them?
Knowing the most common bed bug spots is the first step to catching an infestation early. Here are the 10 places bed bugs hide that you should always check:
Mattress Seams: The most common spot—bugs tuck into stitched edges where fabric folds.
Box Springs: Dark, undisturbed, and close to a host—ideal for bed bugs to nest.
Bed Frames: Joints, screw holes, and cracks all offer perfect cover.
Headboards: Especially upholstered ones with seams and tufting.
Nightstands: Inside drawers, along the back panel, and underneath.
Upholstered Furniture: Sofas and chairs in lobbies or guest rooms are common transfer points.
Luggage Racks: A key bed bug spot in hospitality settings—bugs transfer straight from bags.
Electrical Outlets: Loose plates give bugs a dark, undisturbed retreat behind the wall.
Baseboards: Gaps where flooring meets walls are easy hiding and entry points.
Picture Frames: Hanging close to beds, frames are a surprisingly overlooked spot among the 10 places bed bugs hide.
