Bedbugs are creatures that survive by sucking the blood from human hosts. These creatures are a huge issue for homeowners because they can quickly infest your bed and furniture, thus damaging property and causing physical harm to humans in the form of bites.

Where Do Bedbugs Come From?

Although it’s very difficult to know where exactly bedbugs enter and infest your property, there are a few common sources that are known to cause bedbug infestations.

1. Travel – Travelling and living in common places such as hotels are the top causes of bedbugs as these facilities experience a lot of human traffic on a regular basis.
2. Public Transport – Seats in a public transportation facility that experiences a lot of daily visitors are also a hotspot for bedbugs.
3. Antique Furniture – Purchasing antique or second-hand furniture without properly disinfecting is also a common method for bedbugs to enter your property.
4. Pre-existing infestation– If you live in places or homes that have an ongoing infestation, then you will also be affected by it.
