  • Upholstered furniture is a great place for bedbugs, which hide in the seams or under the upholstery.

  • Wooden structures – may contain woodworm or mold spores.

  • Stored furniture attracts mice , especially if there is food leftovers or waste nearby.


What furniture is the most dangerous?

  • Store in garages or outbuildings for long periods of time.

  • Leave outdoor furniture , especially made of wood or textiles.
