Bed Bug There's a lot of misunderstanding about what draws bed bugs into a property, so here's an honest explanation.
What Actually Attracts Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are drawn to carbon dioxide and body heat, not dirt or food, which is why they specifically target areas where people sleep rather than kitchens or bins.
How They Actually Get In
- Travelling in luggage after staying somewhere infested
- Hitching a ride on second-hand furniture
- Coming in on clothing after visiting an infested location
- Spreading from a neighbouring property
- Arriving via public transport or shared spaces
Why This Matters
Understanding that bed bugs aren't a cleanliness issue helps take away some of the stigma — genuinely any home, hotel or business can get them, regardless of how well kept it is.
