In other words, you may experience an infestation during any time of the year, regardless of the weather. That means it certainly won't hurt to be armed with a little information about bed bug biology and behavior. So without further ado, here are the top three tips on[Massachusetts bed bug extermination. ](http://www.burgesspest.com/bedbugs/)![Massachusetts bed bug extermination](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bedbugimage.jpg?width=175&name=bedbugimage.jpg "Massachusetts bed bug extermination") 1. Inspection. First, you need to know where to look. Bed bugs prefer to hide in tight spaces, such as mattress seams, along baseboards, or even in picture frames. During an inspection, it's important to look for evidence in these areas, as well as the bed frame. 2. Detection. Second, you should know what it is you're looking for. Bed bugs are small and brownish in color but they may also leave behind evidence, which may indicate a problem. Dark spotting may be visible, as well as their casings. 3. Correction. This is where it gets tricky. Eliminating a bed bug infestation is extremely complicated, which is why we never recommend self treating.
