Bed Bug Hiding Places & Habits
Most people find bed bugs (Cimexlectularius) to be the most horrible house guest. These pests are usually 1/4 to 3/8 inch long in their adult state. Bed bugs can lay up to five eggs per day and over 100 eggs in their lifetime. These nasty critters like to hide in the cracks and crevices of baseboards, electrical outlets, behind wallpaper, between beds, around the seams and creases of mattresses, and in bedding materials.
Bed bugs have a very powerful odor that is caused by an oil-like liquid they release. Infestations often begin when these bugs are carried into houses by clothes, luggage, furniture, and bedding.
