  • To combine two discussion points: 2nd hand furniture is also a source of bedbugs! As well as bed frames they also like to hide in the nooks and crevices of bedroom furniture. So be wary: turn the new furniture upside down, pull out the drawers, etc: look out for collections of tiny black spots (their excrement, basically curdled human blood) clustered around hiding places - they'll slip into any gap around 1-2mm.

  • Good tip. This may be a stoopid question, but are they likely to turn up in any furniture, or is there actually a good reason they're called bed bugs?

    Never knowingly had them, but we do acquire a lot of old furniture.
