Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?
It’s widely spread that bed bugs feed off of dirt, but in reality, it’s blood they consume. The cleanliness of your home isn't much of a factor overall. These insects seek animals and humans out for their fluid because they need it to thrive. Bed bugs often impact pastures, hotels, airports, offices, schools, and the like. If the pests don't hold on to a creature's skin or fur, they'll lay in a human's personal bag or clothing. Most of the time, this is how they get into domiciles. Afterward, they'll go to:
- Appliances
- Electronics
- Upholstery
- Couches
- Mattresses
- Fabrics
- Flooring
- Wallpaper
- Wood trim
