I Discovered This Hidden in a Crack in My Sofa… Please Don’t Tell Me These Are Bed Bugs

Conducting a Thorough Inspection

When you find a bug, ask yourself a few key identification questions. Consider the size and shape. Is it the size of a sesame seed, an apple seed, or a grain of rice? Is it oval, round, or elongated? Is it flat or three-dimensional? Note the color, observing if it is reddish-brown, tan, white, black, or translucent. Pay attention to its movement and whether you see just one insect or a multitude. Finally, look for accompanying evidence like dark spots, shed skins, eggs, or itchy bites on your body.
