Who's At Risk
Bedbugs do not discriminate; anyone can be affected. Children may be at a higher risk of receiving bedbug bites if they are sleeping over at friends' homes. In fact, children who sleep in multiple environments are more prone to bedbugs because they are exposed to more potential bedbug habitats. Bedbugs do not feed on trash or dirt, so untidiness and poor hygiene do not contribute to bedbug attacks. Bedbugs are most commonly found in highly populated areas.

Bedbugs can survive for up to a year without feeding, and they can be passed on in old furniture and mattresses.
