Bed bugs can enter homes through various means. They often attach to luggage, clothing, or personal items during travel, particularly from infested hotels. Purchasing secondhand furniture, especially upholstered items, can introduce bed bugs. Public transportation and shared living spaces are common sources of infestation. Visitors from infested homes may unknowingly bring bed bugs. Workplaces and schools can also be transmission points. To reduce the risk of infestation, inspect belongings after travel, carefully examine used furniture, and exercise caution in shared spaces. If you suspect a bed bug problem, contact American Pest Control for professional assistance.
