Bed Bug Identification & Prevention
Frequently Asked Questions About Bed Bugs
What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are biting pests capable of taking over homes and other structures where people live or spend time in the blink of an eye. Though bed bugs aren’t social like ants or wasps, they do live together in groups. Therefore, if you spot one live or dead bed bug inside your Salt Lake City home, it is likely that there are many more you aren’t seeing.
The fastest way to identify an infestation in your house is to have a basic understanding of what bed bugs look like and the signs of their presence. Bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed, have six legs, are wingless, and have short antennae. Reach out to us today for pest control services in Salt Lake City.

Why do I have a bed bug problem?
Bed bugs are problematic pests that bite people to feed on blood. Avid hitchhikers, bed bugs move from place to place by crawling onto people and our belongings. Bed bugs often move into our homes on things like luggage, purses, clothing, used furniture, or inside of bags or boxes.
Once inside our homes, bed bugs quickly find daytime hiding spots that keep people from easily noticing them. Some of their preferred hideouts include:
- The seams of mattresses and upholstered furniture
- Behind trim and baseboards
- In the cracks of walls or wooden furniture
- Inside electrical outlets
- Under piles of clutter or dirty laundry
Regularly inspecting areas of your home where bed bugs are likely to hide is helpful. The sooner a problem with these pests is discovered, the easier and faster it will be to eliminate them with the help of a bed bug removal expert!
Where will I find bed bugs?
Some of the most common places we encounter bed bugs include hotels, schools, hospitals, public transportation, shopping centers, and dormitories. However, any indoor space where people come and go in large numbers can have bed bugs lurking within it.
One of the most reliable signs of a bed bug infestation is finding drops of blood on sheets, mattresses, pillows, and walls. Other signs of an infestation include noticing a musty odor in your home, finding shed skins piled under mattresses, or you or your family members waking up with unexplained bug bites.
