Bed Bugs - Why me???

Jon Ipema • December 31, 2019

How did I get beg bugs?

Through years of adaptation and evolution bed bugs have become excellent at finding their hosts (us humans!!).  Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers, finding their way in our clothing, purses, electronics, furniture, and just about anything else you can think of.  Something as simple as setting your coat down at a relatives house, or spending the night at a hotel, or visiting a friend gives them the opportunity to climb on board and make the travel to your next destination.  A co-worker giving you a book to read, may be giving you much more.   That deal you got on the end table at the thrift store, may come with more than you bargained for!

The possibilities are endless, and they will take advantage of any ride they can.  Finding a new home, a new host, and starting a family of their own, in your box spring!

It can be months before you realize there is a new tenant.  Some who don't get reactions from bites, can go years before noticing they have a roommate.  As well as being experts at travel these insects are accomplished at averting exposure.  They are able to fit into the tiniest of places.  In bed frames, box springs, mattresses, headboards, floor trim, edges of carpet, in furniture, nearly anywhere they can fit.

Unlike other pests, bed bugs are not picky, they like clean homes as much as cluttered or messy houses.  We are their food, so cleanliness doesn't play a factor.  Many victims try to find reasons for the infestation, and blame themselves or others for their situation.  It is important to remember that this is nature and is not anyone's fault.  If disgust must be conveyed, it should be directed at the bed bug itself and none other.  These occurrences are on the rise, and bed bugs have been reclaiming their place as one of our dreaded nightmares.  1 in 5 people have experienced or know someone who has had bed bug troubles, and that number is increasing each and every year.

Please remember there is nothing you have done to bring this upon yourself.  More people than you know have experienced, are experiencing, and will experience the same situation.
