Bedding bedbugs hide in the daytime in furniture, books, under wallpaper and in others secluded places, and at night go hunting and attack the sleeping victim. Many people do not feel bites, but may notice marks on their skin. them. Meanwhile, bedbugs multiply very quickly, laying their eggs in cracks in furniture, household appliances, picture frames, etc. Bedbugs can also hide in the folds of clothing and animal hair, moving them to other houses.
