Bed bugs are feared by humans, and for good reason. They’re quick, witty and resilient and they don’t play by our rules. They sleep during the day in their hidden shelters and they come out at night to enjoy their delicious taste of YOU! If you want to defeat them, you need to learn a little bit more about your enemy. Neglect Climate Bed bugs can be found anywhere– literally anywhere. If a human being is present, a bed bug can use that area as a home and this includes hotels, homes, theatres, schools, buses, trains and more! They don’t care if you’re in the cold Northeast or the blazing Southwest, their anatomy allows them to adjust quickly to their surroundings. Resilient Bed bugs are residents in all 50 states and they’re also able to fast for long amounts of time as they look for their next meal. Some studies even indicate that bed bugs can go as long as several months without a blood meal. This makes them even more dangerous. Quick Witted Bed bugs know you don’t like them, and for that reason they use their brains to stay out of your line of sight. They build hidden shelters in box springs, mattresses, electrical outlets and other areas you would never expect. Don’t expect to catch one just walking around during the day. Methodical Bed bugs are smart and they know that feeding in the same areas is going to draw attention. That is why they only feed for about 5-10 minutes before they rest and hide away. They also don’t like to feed on the same area of human flesh because it will draw attention.
