Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices during daylight hours.
They hide in the folds and tufts of mattresses, coils of springs, cracks and hollow posts of bed stands bed rails and headboards. They may be found in box springs, inside the cabinetry of furniture and the bottom and sides of drawers.
They also can be found behind loose wallpaper, behind pictures on the walls, under door and window casings, and behind baseboards.
They also hide in upholstery of chairs and sofas.
They are not restricted to these places, however.
i googled this for you.....i know that fiddleback spiders hide in books, as do scorpions. makes sense to me that they would be in your books......:-(
