There's a lot of misinformation about bed bugs, and some of it genuinely delays people getting the treatment they need.
Common Myths
- Myth: bed bugs mean a dirty home — false, cleanliness makes no difference
- Myth: bed bugs are invisible to the naked eye — false, adults are clearly visible

- Myth: freezing instantly kills them — false, it requires sustained cold over time
- Myth: you'll always know immediately if you have them — false, reactions vary
