Bed bugs and biting pests

Can you see bed bugs during the day?

Bed bug hide by day in seams and cracks. You can still see them in daylight if you inspect properly: flashlight, credit-card scrape of piping, interceptors on bed legs. A clean look at noon without checking harborages is a false all-clear.

Inspect, do not wait for a parade

Fecal spots, live insects, and casings in the seam beat a nighttime stakeout. If you only have welts and no insect, consider other biters and a clinician — not a fogger.
