Adult bedbugs are brown to reddish-brown, measuring 4–5 mm with a flat, oval-shaped body. Because they lack wings, they hide in:

• Bedding: Mattress seams, bed frames, and headboards.
• Furniture: Sofa joints and upholstery.
• Room Fixtures: Curtain folds, wall crevices, and behind electrical outlets.

Bites: Typically cause itchy, red swellings. Reactions vary from mild irritation to severe allergic blistering.

1. Inspect Secondhand Furniture: Examine used items before bringing them indoors.

2. Protect Your Mattress: Use light-colored, protective encasements for easier detection.

3. Travel Cautiously: Avoid placing luggage on carpets; wash travel clothes in hot water immediately after returning.

Bedbugs are persistent and difficult to eliminate without professional knowledge. If you suspect an infestation, professional pest control services are strongly recommended to ensure effective, long-term eradication and peace of mind.
