Bedbugs Go Where the Action Is
Since bedbugs travel by hitchhiking, infestations are more common in places with high rates of turnover in the human population: apartment buildings, dormitories, homeless shelters, hotels and motels, and military barracks. Any time you have a lot of people coming and going, there's an increased risk that someone will carry a few bedbugs into the building. In general, owners of single-family homes have a lower risk of getting bedbugs. Bedbugs Hide in Clutter
Once in your home, bedbugs scurry quickly to select a new hiding place; in beds and other furniture, behind baseboards, under wallpaper, or inside switch plates. Then it's just a matter of time before they begin multiplying. A single female may arrive at your doorstep already carrying enough eggs to produce hundreds of offspring. While filth does not benefit bedbugs, clutter does. The more cluttered your home is, the more hiding places there are for bedbugs and the harder it will be to get rid of them.

Will be traveling to mountainous cities on the Iberian Penninsula & in France. Are bed bugs still a problem, &, if so, is there a good anti-BB spray in a travel-sized bottle I can carry w/me & use in my room? Nancy

Sorry to tell you this, but there is no such thing as an effective anti-bedbug spray. If there was, hotels would use it. The best you can do is inspect, and leave if you see a problem. But there have not been any reports here lately about bedbug problems, and I have never encountered any problems in Spain, even staying in small hostals and hotels. Ken

Napalm is no longer available to the general public, either - - but it works.
Once considered a pest of the past, bedbugs now make regular headlines as they infest homes, hotels, and dormitories worldwide. As bedbugs spread, more people worry about them and want to know what causes a bedbug infestation. Though it might seem as if bedbug infestations are on the rise, historical context indicates that bedbugs and other bloodsucking parasites have been associated with humans for thousands of years. Throughout that history, people have endured them feeding on their blood. Bedbugs all but disappeared when people started using DDT and other pesticides to keep insects out of their homes. Although news headlines suggest bedbugs are conquering the world, the reality is that bedbug infestations are still at historically low numbers. Why are they called bedbugs? Once they settle into your home, they congregate where you spend a lot of sedentary time: chairs, couches, and especially beds. They are attracted to you by the carbon dioxide in the air you breathe out, and you do a lot of breathing over the hours you're in bed.

7. Minimize The Hiding Places For Bed Bugs
Check out the caulk cracks which are found along the molding and the baseboards. Also, decrease clutter within your bedroom, particularly on the floor and near your bed. Fact is, a cluttered house supplies more ideal places for bed bugs to live and makes identifying and treating them more difficult. If the bed bugs are living in your mattress, using special bed bugs cover on the mattress as well as box springs tends to make it more difficult for the bed bugs to get close to you while you sleep. Make sure that you purchase the product which has been well tested for bed bugs and is also strong enough to last for about 1 year without tearing. 8. Get The Help Of Professionals, If Necessary

my mom just got back from NYC and had over 100 bites from Bed Bugs. Look for blood stains on the sheets, this is from crushing them in your sleep. your bites will swell after a day or two. When you get home, don't bring ANY of your stuff in. Wrap your suitcases airtight in heavy plastic bags or tarp and leave it in the hot sun for at least a day, then wash and dry all clothes in the hottest settings possible. Take your suitcases to an outdoor carwash place to vacuum. the eggs look like poppyseeds and the adult bugs are about the size of apple seeds. they feast on you for 10 minutes at a time in the night. You really do not want to get them in your home. BTW NYC is INFESTED with them right now, blamed on increased international travel. Don't think you are safe by going to an expensive place, many of the priciest apartments and hotels there have them
