Inspection (I)

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

• Blood spotting on bed linen, mattresses, walls, nearby furnishings or crevices
• Dead bed bug casings
• Colonies of live bed bugs
• Live bed bugs in different life stages - larger adult brown bed bugs 4 – 5 mm long, lighter coloured juvenile nymphs, cream coloured eggs (1mm long)
• Heavy infestations are accompanied by a distinctive sickly-sweet smell

WHERE TO LOOK

Bed bugs generally feed at night and seek shelter during the day in a variety of locations, mostly close to where people sleep:

• Under and around mattresses, floorboards, paintings, mirrors and carpets
• Behind bed-heads and skirting boards
• Inside bed bases
• Inside wheels of bed bases
• In cracks and crevices of walls
• Within bed frames and other furniture
• Behind loose wallpaper
• Electrical fittings and appliances
• Guide tracks of closet doors
• Housekeeping carts and rooms
• Storage rooms for mattresses and furniture
• Adjoining rooms – next to, above and below an infested room
