Bed Bugs and Bryan, Texas
Bed bug infestations start small and escalate into situations that are unbearable. Bed bugs are one insect that has evolved to target humans. That is not to say that they will target pets, they will, but only if desperate.
How do Bed Bugs Spread?
The spreading of bed bugs occurs solely through the movements of humans. This occurs mostly through traveling, especially when people stay in places that are designed as short-term transient locations. These include the hot vacation destinations where vacationers flock to by the droves. Other places include motels, hostiles, summer camps, and even high end hotels and Airbnbs. Bed bugs don’t really care how much a room costs, only that it us occupies. People check in, spend the night, and leave with bed bugs. Once they are home, the bed bugs begin to grow their population until it becomes unbearable to live in the home.
How Do You Get Rid of Bed Bugs?
