Why Are There Bed Bugs In My House?
Quite simply, you have bed bugs in your home because you are there. Bed bugs need blood to survive, and yours will do just fine; as long as they are in your home, you and your family are on their menu. Bed bugs don’t like being disturbed when they feed - which can take up to 20 minutes - and don’t like coming out in the daytime. They will wait until night to come out instead and feed on you while you sleep. Bed bugs prefer bare skin, and most of the bites you wake up with will be in areas where your skin is exposed.
