Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?

Bed bugs are one of the most challenging pests to eliminate once they’ve infested your home. These tiny, parasitic insects feed on human blood, and they’re experts at hiding in small cracks and crevices. If you think you might have bed bugs, it’s important to act quickly to prevent them from spreading. But where do bed bugs come from in the first place?

1. Bed Bugs Can Come From Other Infested Homes or Apartments

Bed bugs can quickly spread from unit to unit if you live in an apartment complex or other multi-unit dwelling. If just one team in the building has an infestation, bed bugs can travel through ductwork, cracks in walls, and other common areas to infest other homes. It is one of the reasons why it’s so important to act quickly if you think you might have bed bugs.

2. Bed Bugs Can Be in Used Furniture or Clothing

Bed bugs are often transported into homes on used furniture or clothing. If you buy second-hand furniture, scrutinize it for bed bugs before bringing it inside. The same goes for clothing – if you buy second-hand clothes, wash and dry them on high heat before wearing them.

3. Bed Bugs Can Come From Hotels or Other Places You’ve Traveled

If you’ve stayed in a hotel room that had bed bugs, it’s possible to bring those bugs home with you in your luggage. Be sure to inspect your suitcase carefully when you return home from a trip, and wash all your clothes on high heat as soon as possible.

4. Bed Bugs Can Hitch a Ride on Pets

Dogs and cats can sometimes bring bed bugs into the home on their fur. This is more common if your pet spends time outside or if you’ve recently traveled with them. Inspect your pet’s fur carefully for bed bugs, and be sure to vacuum any areas where they may have been.

5. Bed Bugs Can Come From Wild Animals

Another way bed bugs can end up in your home is if wild animals bring them inside. It is common with birds and rodents, who may build nests in your attic or walls and get bed bugs in. If you have wild animals in or around your home, be sure to have a professional remove them and inspect your home for bed bugs.

Bottom Line

These are just some ways that bed bugs can end up in your home. If you think you might have bed bugs, contact a pest control professional immediately. They can help you get rid of the infestation and prevent it from spreading.
