Why is my area infested with Bed Bugs?

Often misunderstood, these pests are not caused by poor hygiene or sanitation but are adept hitchhikers, easily traveling from infested areas to new locations via luggage, clothing, or furniture.

Common misconceptions about bed bugs include the belief that they are invisible to the naked eye and only inhabit beds. In reality, adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and can be seen without magnification. While they prefer beds and sleeping areas for easy access to their food source, they can thrive in various environments as long as they have access to a host.

Bed bugs enter homes or businesses unnoticed through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches, and other items. Their flattened bodies make it possible for them to fit into tiny spaces, about the width of a credit card.
