Anyone will do. There’s no stigma against incest in the bed bug community. They will mate with siblings and parents alike – which means just one pregnant bed bug in your home can single-handedly cause a huge infestation.

Bed buds don’t have borders. Bed bugs are as nondiscriminatory with housing as they are with mates. Thanks to increasing international and domestic travel, you’ll find these blood-sucking setting up shack in all corners of the world.

No place is off limits. The kind of housing doesn’t matter to them, either – they’ll feel equally at home in a homeless shelter as they would a posh high-rise. As long as there are warm-blooded hosts to feed on, they’re satisfied with their living situation.
