Where They Come From
Where Bed Bugs Come From
Travel & Movement
Bed bugs often hitchhike in luggage, clothing, or used furniture after travel or second-hand purchases.
Shared Spaces
They can spread quickly through apartments, hotels, dorms, and other multi-unit buildings.
Clutter & Hiding Spots
Bed bugs thrive in areas with lots of cracks, seams, and fabrics where they can hide during the day.
Prevention
What You Can Do at Home
- Wash and heat-dry bedding, linens, and recently worn clothes.
- Reduce clutter around beds and sofas to eliminate hiding spots.
- Inspect mattress seams, headboards, and upholstered furniture regularly.
- Use protective mattress and box spring covers designed for bed bugs.
- Be cautious when bringing in used furniture or luggage from trips.
Root Causes
What Attracts Them to Homes
- Human presence: Bed bugs are drawn to body heat and carbon dioxide.
- Clutter: The more hiding places available, the faster infestations spread.
- Travel activity: Frequent travel increases the risk of carrying them home.
