Taking the time to inspect hidden spaces, vacuum thoroughly, and keep fabrics clean can help prevent minor pest problems from becoming larger ones. While the discovery beneath my mattress was unexpected, it ultimately became a lesson in staying informed, avoiding panic, and keeping the home clean and well maintained.
