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.

Mostly dirty visitors that have it in their homes. Nothing more.

I just finished dealing with mine after two months. They brought the fear of God into me. How the hell they came in still remains a mystery to me.

Have never seen it in my home and will never see it.
