Bed bugs are easy to miss until the infestation has grown to the point it cannot be ignored and you staring seeing bed bug shells flying around your house.

How to Inspect For Bed Bugs
The obvious place to begin your bed bug inspection in Canada is in your mattress. Wear a pair of gloves and prepare for a meticulous inspection; bed bugs can hide in cracks the width of a credit card. Carefully inspect folds, tufts and seams. Check the sheets for blood stains and finally inspect all the crevices, gaps and corners of the bed.
Bed bugs also love favorite human lounging areas so move your inspection to all couches, office chairs, recliners and other common seating areas. Remember to look in between cushions, under the furniture and where upholstery joins with the furniture.
Lastly, check all the edges of the carpet and baseboards and all corners of the room since these are popular hiding spots.
Move your search to less common bed bug prone areas just to ensure that you have done a thorough sweep of the home. Remove all drawers and carefully inspect the joints and cracks. Inspect the dressers, nightstand, under lamps, behind loose wall paper, behind appliances and inside picture frames.
How to Exterminate Bed Bugs

A thorough inspection of your home especially in rooms that are regularly occupied such as the bedroom and living room is the best chance you have for a successful elimination.
