Who's At Risk
Bedbugs do not discriminate, so anyone can be affected. Additionally, there is usually no relationship between a bedbug infestation and poor hygiene or an unclean home. They are most commonly found in places where there are a high number of people, such as in hotels, prisons, shelters, apartment buildings, and dorms. They can travel to your home in used furniture or in suitcases.

Bedbug infestations have been on the rise. This is thought to be due to recent increases in international travel along with changes in insect pesticides that do not affect the bedbug but do kill the bedbug's natural predators, the cockroach and red ant.
