U may have brought bedbugs in with new couch.

Friend of mine got new couch and chair. Told me about a month later that they where getting bit. By that time bugs got into bedroom. Had to fumigate the apt and throw mattress and box spring out.

Check under pillows and in any crevices. The eggs look like sawdust.

Vacuum all of couch including bottom. Through the bag away after u finish. And spray with bug killer. U can get spay at big box store.

U will have to do this 3 times 3 days apart.

With Luck u will get them all. If not they may be living inside of couch.
