What's more horrifying than waking up with itchy bites and not finding the culprit?
Bedbugs are small insects that live on furniture or bedding, hiding in the bed frames, mattresses, clothing, and even behind pictures and loose wallpaper, according to the NHS. They feed on human blood and "can be quite difficult to spot", according to Bed Kingdom, a bedroom furniture retailer.
This causes "them to become more of a nuisance in your home and therefore harder to get rid of". The online retailer said: "Your bedroom is essentially your safe haven. It's the place where you can relax and unwind at the end of the day, but that can quickly change when you have unwanted guests like bedbugs."
