How did I get Bed bugs?
“How did I get bed bugs?” is a common question our customers ask frequently.
They often continue by stating that, “but I wasn’t even at a hotel”, or “but I was at a top-notch hotel”.
The common belief is that bed bugs are gotten from visiting a hotel or motel that is less than clean, and less than “5 star”. But this actually a bed bug myth raised to the point of urban legend.
In truth, bed bugs are actually very good at finding you and in many places other than the “seedy hotel”
So, where did I get bed bugs from then?
The sad truth is that bed bugs can be found in many common places and it’s not just hotels
The following is a relatively comprehensive list of bed bug hiding places. But, in case we missed a spot, feel free to use the comments below if have missed anything.
