Bed bugs are stealthy little critters. Start by inspecting your bedding, mattress seams, and any cracks or crevices near your bed. Finding them is half the battle. - Launder and Vacuum:
Throw your bedding, curtains, and any infested clothes into the washing machine. Use the hottest water your fabrics can handle. Meanwhile, vacuum your mattress and the surrounding areas. - Pillow and Stuffed Animal Care:
