Habitat / Nests

Bed Bugs are found everywhere across the globe – in schools, daycare centers, hospitals, hotels, public transport, and offices.

They are parasitic by nature but they spend a very tiny fraction of their lifecycles physically attached to hosts. Once a Bed Bugs finishes feeding, it will move to a place close to a known host, generally inside the mattress, in or near beds or couches, luggage, inside of vehicles, within furniture, among bedside clutter—even inside electrical sockets and nearby laptop computers in groups of adults, juveniles. Bed Bugs also make their nests near animals. They are also capable of surviving on domestic cats and dogs, rats, and even bats though humans are their favorite and preferred host.
