Why a Sofa Can Attract Bed Bugs
Although bed bugs are commonly associated with beds, they can also hide in:
- Sofas
- Recliners
- Cushions
- Cracks and crevices
- Upholstered furniture
They prefer locations close to where people sit or sleep for extended periods.
Other Things That Might Be Hiding in Your Couch
Many discoveries turn out to be something much less concerning, such as:
Carpet Beetle Larvae
Often mistaken for bed bugs.
These small insects can leave behind shed skins and are commonly found in furniture.
Food Debris
Seeds, crumbs, or dried food particles can sometimes resemble eggs or insect casings.
Fabric Pilling
Small clumps of fibers can look surprisingly bug-like.
Spider Egg Sacs
Occasionally tiny egg clusters are discovered inside furniture.
Beetle Shells
Dead insects often leave behind outer shells that can be mistaken for active pests.
