Bed Bugs

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood—usually while you’re sleeping. They’re about the size of an apple seed and hide in mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, and furniture cracks.

They don’t fly, but they move quickly and can spread from room to room. What makes bed bugs especially tricky is that they’re hard to spot until the infestation is already growing. If you’re waking up with itchy bites or spotting tiny dark stains on your sheets, it’s time to take action.

SuperNova Pest Control offers discreet, effective bed bug treatment in Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane, and surrounding areas.

Are bed bugs dangerous?

While bed bugs aren’t known to spread disease, they can still cause serious problems. Their bites often lead to itching, rashes, and skin irritation—and in some cases, allergic reactions. Beyond the physical symptoms, bed bugs can trigger anxiety, stress, and sleepless nights for anyone dealing with an infestation.

Because they multiply quickly and hide in hard-to-reach places, untreated bed bugs can turn a minor issue into a major one fast. If you’re noticing bites or signs of bed bugs, it’s best to act quickly.

SuperNova Pest Control offers discreet, effective bed bug treatment across Coeur d’Alene, Lewiston, Spokane, and surrounding areas.

Why do I have a bed bug problem?

Bed bugs don’t show up because your home is dirty—they show up because they’re excellent hitchhikers. Most infestations start when bed bugs are unknowingly brought in from hotels, public transportation, second-hand furniture, or even visitors.

Once inside, they hide in mattress seams, furniture, cracks in walls, and other small spaces. They feed at night and reproduce quickly, making them hard to detect until the infestation is widespread.

If you live in areas like Coeur d’Alene, Lewiston, Spokane, Post Falls, or surrounding towns, bed bugs can spread quickly through apartments, homes, and multi-unit housing. SuperNova Pest Control is here to stop the infestation at the source with discreet, effective treatment.

Where will I find bed bugs?
Bed bugs are experts at hiding in tight, dark spaces—often right under your nose. In homes and apartments across Coeur d’Alene, Lewiston, Spokane, Post Falls, Clarkston, Moscow, Pullman, Hayden, and Rathdrum, we commonly find bed bugs in:
  • Mattress seams and box springs
  • Headboards, bed frames, and under bedding
  • Cracks in walls, baseboards, and flooring
  • Behind electrical outlets and light switch covers
  • Inside couches, chairs, and nightstands
  • Luggage, backpacks, and even folded laundry

Because they’re small, flat, and nocturnal, most people don’t realize they have a problem until the infestation has grown. If you’re seeing tiny dark spots on your sheets or waking up with bites, it’s time to take action.

How do I get rid of bed bugs?

Getting rid of bed bugs isn’t easy—and store-bought sprays or foggers rarely solve the problem. Bed bugs hide deep inside furniture, walls, and flooring, and they reproduce quickly. Killing the bugs you see doesn’t eliminate the eggs or solve the infestation.

At SuperNova Pest Control, we offer discreet, professional bed bug treatment across Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane, Post Falls, Clarkston, Hayden, Moscow, Rathdrum, and Pullman. Our proven process targets every stage of the bed bug life cycle—from eggs to adults—using safe, effective methods that work.

How can I prevent bed bugs in the future?
Preventing bed bugs starts with knowing how they spread. In cities like Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane, Post Falls, Clarkston, and surrounding areas, we often see infestations linked to travel, second-hand furniture, or shared living spaces. Here’s how to reduce your risk:
  • Inspect hotel beds, sheets, and headboards when traveling
  • Keep luggage off the floor and use luggage racks when possible
  • Wash and dry clothes on high heat after returning from a trip
  • Be cautious when buying used furniture—check seams and joints closely
  • Seal cracks in walls, baseboards, and outlets to block potential hiding spots
  • Vacuum and declutter regularly, especially around beds and furniture

If you’ve had bed bugs before, ongoing inspections or preventive treatments can help stop them from coming back. SuperNova Pest Control offers peace of mind with reliable service throughout North Idaho and Eastern Washington.
