Bedbugs in Mattress Covers

Bedbugs are typically found hiding in fabrics in bedrooms and mattress covers are no exception. Infested mattresses, comforters, cushioned furniture and mattress covers will show dark spots, which are the dried excrement of bedbugs. Bloodstains may also be visible from bedbugs that are accidentally killed in the night by their sleeping hosts. Maturing bedbug nymphs molt or shed their skin during their development; these skins can sometimes be found in or around infested materials. In addition, bedbugs themselves are often visible if the source is examined closely enough. Check the seams of your mattress or mattress cover for insects.

Sprays prove largely ineffective in treating bedbug infestations. Vacuuming and laundering at high temperatures provides short-term relief, but if there are bedbugs on a mattress cover, it is likely that bedbugs and their eggs are also present within the mattress, sheets and elsewhere within a home. Although vinyl covers are also sometimes used to prevent mattress infestation, bedbugs can thrive in a variety of locations indoors. If you suspect a bedbug infestation, contact your local pest control professional for an evaluation.
