The cluster appears to contain adult bed bugs, smaller nymphs, shed skins, eggs or egg remnants, and the dark spotting bed bugs commonly leave behind after feeding. They prefer tight, hidden spaces close to where people sleep, which is why mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, and the area underneath a mattress are common hiding places.<\/p>\n<p>Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed on blood, usually at night. They don\u2019t build traditional nests, but when an infestation becomes established, large numbers can gather together in protected cracks and seams. Signs can include tiny reddish-brown insects, pale shed skins, small white eggs, dark fecal spots, and unexplained itchy bites after sleeping.<br \/>\n        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\"\r\n             data-id=\"rmwr-p1181-1\"\r\n                          data-key=\"p1181-1\"\r\n                          data-post=\"1181\"\r\n                          data-animation=\"none\"\r\n                          data-duration=\"300\"\r\n                          data-mode=\"normal\"\r\n                          data-lazy=\"false\"\r\n                          data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\r\n                          data-scroll-offset=\"0\"\r\n             >\r\n            <button\r\n                type=\"button\"\r\n                class=\"read-link \"\r\n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-p1181-1\"\r\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\r\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\r\n                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-p1181-1\"\r\n            >\r\n                                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\r\n            <\/button>\r\n            <div\r\n                class=\"read_div\"\r\n                id=\"readrmwr-p1181-1\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\r\n                style=\"display: none;\"\r\n            >\r\n                                    <br \/>\nIf you discover something like this, avoid carrying the mattress or bedding through other rooms because that can spread the insects. Place bedding and washable clothing directly into sealed bags, then wash and dry them using the hottest settings the fabric safely allows. Carefully vacuum mattress seams, the bed frame, baseboards, and nearby cracks, disposing of the vacuum contents outside afterward.<\/p>\n<p>A large infestation like the one pictured is usually difficult to eliminate with simple household sprays. Bed bugs can hide extremely well and survive in tiny spaces, so professional pest-control treatment is often the most reliable solution. Avoid using random insecticides, bug bombs, or homemade chemical mixtures around sleeping areas.<\/p>\n<p>That frightening pile under the mattress isn\u2019t ordinary dirt.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very likely evidence that bed bugs have been living there for quite some time.                                                 <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you\u2019re seeing under the mattress looks very much like a serious bed bug infestation.
