Where Do Bed Bugs Hide in Your Home?

Got a hunch bed bugs are crashing your Montreal pad? These bloodsuckers love to hide close to where you sleep—within 10-15 feet—dodging light like pros. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation rates are up 40x since 2005, thanks to tourism and old buildings. Let’s hunt down their sneaky spots in your North Shore or South Shore digs.

Top Hiding Zones

• Bed HQ: Mattress seams, tufts, box springs, bed frames, and headboards—their daytime castle.
• Furniture Traps: Cracks in nightstands, sofas, chairs—fabric folds are VIP lounges.
• Wall Warriors: Baseboards, electrical outlets, behind peeling wallpaper or paint, picture frames.
• Clutter Chaos: Luggage, used books, electronics, clothes piles—even phone chargers!
• Spread Alert: Starts in bedrooms, creeps to other rooms in heavy infestations—older Montreal homes with cracks are prime targets.

They crawl fast but stick near you—check edges, not centers.

2025 Montreal Trends

Montreal ranks in Canada’s top 25 bed bug cities, fueled by Airbnb, high-density housing, and curb furniture (hides in seams despite weather). Low-income units (HLMs) see underreported cases—report to your landlord or OMH ASAP. Travel’s the big spreader; hotels and used couches are culprits.

Why Spotting Hides Early Wins

Miss a spot, and they breed like crazy—one female pumps 200-500 eggs. In your cluttered Rive-Sud basement, that’s an army. Early ID with pros stops the spread cold.
