Bed Bugs are brought in on humans or items like used furniture. Bed Bugs do not come from poor sanitation like most people think and that is why you will find them in any home or place of business. In group homes and apartments everyone makes the mistake of thinking anyone with poor hygiene or clutter will have more bugs and that is not true, clutter will create more places for them to hide and make it more difficult to treat but does not mean that there are more bed bugs in a home or business with to much clutter but it will definitely make it more difficult to treat and that is what inspections are for, because methods of application are different for each client. A clean hospital may have more bed bugs because you have an ambulatory people in beds all the time for the insects to feed on.
Bed Bugs will populate in furniture, apartments, and homes where humans spend the most time sitting or sleeping on furniture. Senior citizen apartments will have unhealthy populations of bed bugs because seniors spend more time sitting and sleeping and will not spend hardly any time outside the buildings, and that’s why they always need constant maintenance and IPM Programs (Integrated Pest Management). In group homes the occupants that spend the most time in their beds or recliners and will have the heaviest infestations of bed bugs in the furniture that they sit on or sleep on. Property Managers will tell professionals where they think the heavy populations are and they are always wrong because they think that bed bugs, filth, poor sanitation, and clutter, are all synonymous with heavy infestations and they are not. A cluttered bedroom that no one frequents or sleeps in will no bed bugs at all. That is why the best professionals will not ignore any apartment, area, or furniture in apartment complexes, homes, and places of business when treating and completely eradicating bed bugs. Most of the bed bugs are located once the treatment starts and not during inspections. Proper and successful treatments are not governed by sightings, they are successful only when technicians are determined to exercise good problem solving techniques along with experience and knowledge.
Throwing out beds alone will not remove the bed bugs in window frames, door frames, floor moldings, ceiling moldings, curtains, blinds, couches, or recliners, In the first few months 94% of the bed bugs will be in furniture like a bed or couch whichever you spend the most time on. However if the homeowner sprays a general use insecticide first then most of the bed bugs will leave the bed or couch to find safe untreated areas. Before you remove any furniture it is best to consult a professional first to eradicate the bed bugs and salvage all of the furniture. Remember bed bugs are of the most difficult and hard to find insect in the world.
