Pest Control: How to Inspect Your Home for Bed Bugs Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and other animals, usually as they sleep. They are tiny creatures, usually about a quarter of an inch long, oval-shaped, and are reddish-brown in color. Their tiny size and ability to hide successfully in small cracks and crevices can make them very difficult to detect unless you know where to look.

In this instructional video, you can learn how and where to inspect your home for bed bugs. These parasitic insects tend to live in dark, narrow crevices that are close to places where they can feed, such as under box springs or under couch cushions. Check out the video to learn more.  

If you think you may be unwillingly sharing your home with bed bugs, call Burns Pest Elimination at (623) 201-4992 to learn more about our elimination services.
