Casings don’t just float on your pillow like confetti at a party. They hide. Check the seams of your mattress, the folds of your box spring, behind your headboard, and the zipper of your pillowcase. Also, look in your nightstand drawer—bed bugs are social climbers, but they’re also terrible at picking good real estate.

If you spot a casing that looks crispy and angular, you’re likely looking at a freshly shed one. If it’s dusty and crumbling, it’s older than a forgotten slice of pizza under your couch. Either way, do not touch it with bare hands. Use a tissue or, if you’re feeling dramatic, a hazmat suit. The eggs (tiny, pearly white, like a grain of rice) are even worse—they’re the unhatched sequel nobody asked for.

First, don’t scream into the void (or your pillow). Take a clear, well-lit photo and send it to a pest control professional. They don’t need a photo of your angry face—just the evidence. Then, vacuum the bejeezus out of your mattress, seams, and baseboards. Dispose of the vacuum bag in an outdoor trash can, because you don’t want the exoskeleton parade to march back inside.

If you’re feeling extra, you can toss the casing in a baggie and label it “Exhibit A” for your landlord. Surprising fact: that casing is made of chitin, the same stuff as shrimp shells, which means you’re basically dealing with land shrimp—which is hilarious until you realize you’ve been sleeping in an underwater-themed horror movie.
