Bed bugs in the mattress? Here's Who to Call
Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, box springs, and headboards, feeding at night and leaving itchy bites in rows. They spread fast and survive months without a meal, so store-bought sprays rarely end an infestation. A licensed pest-control technician can confirm the bugs, treat with heat or targeted insecticide, and schedule the follow-up needed to break the egg cycle.
