Where They Come From

Most people wonder from where they got their infestation of bed bugs. The answer is complex. The bugs like to travel so if you have stayed in a hotel, motel, dorm room or even at a friends, you are susceptible to bringing home the bugs in your luggage. If you live in an apartment, the bugs can easily travel between the apartment walls to infest connecting apartments. If you have a student come home for a visit from school where they have the bugs in their dorm room. If you have a friend over who has bed bugs in their house. If your child attends a school where they have bed bugs in the student lockers.

All of these are places where you can easily pick up a bug and bring it home. Make sure that when you stay in a new place to always check the mattress and the head board. Never put your luggage on the bed or the floor. Hang your coat up in the closet.
