Yuck, your box spring is infested. dynamite the place.
1. Look For The Bugs
The first step to getting rid of bed bugs is to do some investigative work. Pay close attention to where people sitt or have slept for long periods of time. Bed Bugs are visible to the eye. The adult bed bug is brown to reddish-brown, oval-shaped, flattened, and about 1/4 to 5/8 inch long.
Be prepared to inspect all areas of the room using a bright flashlight and a magnifying glass if you have one available. Bed Bugs can leave reddish- brown spots on mattresses and have a distinct smell. Remember that the bed bug’s flat shape and small body enable it to hide easily in cracks and crevices. Bed bugs, eggs, larvae, and fecal deposits will go unnoticed with just a casual inspection.
This site give really good tips…..Good Luck!
Please get a new mattress. These bugs are disqusting. AS a child, I would lay down on my mattress at night and wake up during the night only to feel a Creepy Crawly thing going up my leg. I finally swatted it with my hand one day, however, there were many. I was too little to know any better and didn’t know what they were. It would have been nice if one of my parents would have known so I didn’t have to go through that.
PLease, please get a new mattress. Another place they like to hide is in the curtains next to the bed or wall. Keep new mattress away from the walls and if at all possible, illiminate a bed skirt, since this just gives them another hiding place or place to leave their eggs.
These bugs are sooo gross. I doubt if there is anyway to totally illiminate the bugs, unless you start fresh. You can buy one of those plastic mattress covers which go around the entire mattress. We have those on all of the children’s beds to keep them fresh and clean.
Good luck ~
