Bed Bug Unlike some pests, bed bugs don't disappear for part of the year, which surprises a lot of people.
The Honest Answer
Bed bugs remain active year-round indoors, since heated homes provide consistent conditions regardless of the weather outside — they don't hibernate or die off in winter the way some outdoor pests do.
Why Summer Sometimes Sees More Reported Cases
- Increased travel and holidays in summer months
- More visitors and overnight guests
- Windows and doors open more, though this isn't a major factor for bed bugs specifically
- General increased activity and awareness during warmer months
What This Means Practically
Prevention and vigilance matter all year round, not just during peak travel season, since an infestation can start and grow at any time of year indoors.
