Many people believe bed bugs love dirty conditions, and that they’re attracted by filth. This is why many people believe that sleeping in a cheap hotel is a surefire way to get bed bugs.

As it turns out, though, that’s just a common misconception.

Bed bugs are not drawn to dirt or decay. In fact, they can live in any environment, as long as they have access to the one thing they need to survive:

Blood.

Unlike mosquitoes and ticks, which are also blood-eating insects, bed bugs can’t fly or live on their hosts. Instead, they must hide near their food source and wait for a meal to become available to them.

As such, bed bugs are highly adaptable. They can live anywhere from the cushions of a sofa to the carpet of a library, as long as they can access regular blood meals.

If you have bed bugs in your apartment, that’s why!

With that in mind, here are a few main causes of bed bugs:

Purchasing used furniture and bringing it into the home. Bed bugs can enter your space via luggage, purses, backpacks, used couches, and more.

Cross-contamination in a multi-unit environment. Bed bugs can travel between rooms in apartment complexes and hotels.

Contamination from a hotel, resort, or hostel. Bed bugs may get into your clothing or luggage and come home with you.

New people staying in your home. Guests may come to stay at your home, bringing bed bugs with them without knowing.


Ticks don't fly niggah!

From a friend’s house probably. cheesy

Like the op stated, they can survive multiply in your home for as long as they have STEADYACCESSTO THEIR ONLY FOOD WHICH IS BLOOD. So to get rid of them, just travel for a couple of months and they will perish naturally.

Lol, you better do. Did saw it running relay on a man's cloth inside church. Was so confused on whether to tell him ( he will feel embarrassed as others might see him while struggling) or just let him be (other people might as well see it but at least he won't know that anyone did)

I had to let the thing continue cruising all over his body.

Re: What Attracts Bed Bugs To Your Home? by mailemy(m): 2:43pm On Nov 17, 2021
Just pray you don't bring on one to your house. It keeps multiplying and extremely difficult to eliminate from the house.

I don't know about others, but I cannot blame people who associate bedbugs with dirtiness because I have never seen them in a clean environment

Blood attracts them and they don't fly to your home but can easily infect your home through movement of clothes, luggage, used furniture and even persons and etc.

They seem to be rampant now. Just discovered it too. I havent had good sleep in the recent times becos I'm keeping an eye on the kids and killing as much that crawls on the bed.... the smell is AWFUL!!!!! But I discover they dont like light too. So I tend to leave the torchlight on around the kids. Can't wait for the holiday season. I will fumigate before going away..

The day I made some research about this bed bug of a thing, the fact they can come into your skin and survive in your skin moving around and creating sour wounds was iterating to say the least ...

You might be referring to the human itch mite, which is a microscopic bug that can actually burrow and live beneath the human skin, thereby causing intense itching. The female itch mite burrows through the human skin, where they can live and lay eggs for weeks undetected.

Those bastard came make you run mad every 11-12am in the morning making you see hell

If God is good if there's is light on fan the highest then you can sleep well

My younger ones brought it from our neighbor like if you see their body in the morning I wonder if dey don't feel the bite
Anyway it took the intervention of my mother to fumigate the house

Nah. Room is squeaky clean. No signs
Bedbugs aren't attracted by dirt. They can live and thrive in both dirty and clean places. Just pray that someone doesn't mistakenly bring 1 bedbug into your home, you go hear am

Have you ever had a dog? We've had two dogs in my family house and I brought one to my personal place here. I had to fumigate and angrily return the dog. Almost every dog has them in it's body unless you treat them regularly. Avoid dogs if bedbugs are a concern for you. Don't say I haven't done anything for you.
Dogs carry fleas and ticks, not bedbugs

Re: What Attracts Bed Bugs To Your Home? by daytona007: 6:53pm On Nov 17, 2021
Lol... Those things are hoodlums. I remember them infesting our home back in early 2000s. My mum had to use insecticide back to back to back to back to back.
These days, if my mum hear that you have bedbug in your house, she doesn't even take it lightly. She won't let you access to the house. Omo, I remember how she struggled to get rid of them.

To get rid DD FORCE use alone, but be careful when using it.
Re: What Attracts Bed Bugs To Your Home? by Kooldame: 8:36pm On Nov 17, 2021
After fumigation they can disappear for six months and reappear again the only way to get rid of it is continuous fumigation then replacement of all infected furniture then relocate to another apartment. If you can't relocate then go for vacation with ur family for some months.

Bedbugs and German cockroaches are very difficult to exterminate, mix sniper and kerosene then fumigate your house 3 times a week for two month without skipping, they will disappear.
. By German cockroach you mean those tiny ones?
