microscope screening
I’m not sure how you could do it with a mattress, but it’s easy to test it with your pillow. Hold it with just one hand underneath the middle and if the sides sag down, those are dead dust mites/whatever. New pillows don’t sag. :3
Just assume they are there! Replace sheets regularly and use a mattress and pillow cover on your bed.
Bed Bugs are not microscopic. Some can be very small though.
Go to hardware store or Home Depot (flooring Department) and purchase double sided carpet tape. put tape around mattress and couch. If bed bugs are their, they will crawl onto tape and get stuck.
Also if they are in the couch check out (thesofasafe.com) I had serious bugs in both my couches and the sofa safe totally stopped the problem.
