Are Bed Bugs Caused by Uncleanliness? Many people believe that bed bugs prefer to unhygienic environments because they are attracted to dirt and decay. However, this is completely untrue. Bed bugs are not like pill bugs – they do not eat decomposing matter.
What is the main cause of bed bugs?
Travel is widely recognized as the most common cause of bed bug infestations. Often unbeknownst to the traveler, bed bugs will hitchhike on people, clothing, luggage, or other personal belongings and be accidentally transported to other properties. Bed bugs can easily go unnoticed by humans.
How do you get bed bugs in the first place?
- They can come from other infested areas or from used furniture. They can hitch a ride in luggage, purses, backpacks, or other items placed on soft or upholstered surfaces.
- They can travel between rooms in multi-unit buildings, such as apartment complexes and hotels.
