Bed bugs can not fly or walk long distances but are resilient in attaching to humans and even household pets. If you have a pet that frequently goes outside, your risk of an infestation is higher. Therefore, you should limit or restrict your pet's outdoor activity.
Bed bugs can live up to 12 months without food so it is imperative to be vigilant. Make it a habit to check for bed bugs on a regular basis.
Since 2005, bed bug infestations have tripled, making this a very common problem. Unfortunately, the stigma associated with having bed bugs is grim. Even though this stigma is unfounded, it is nonetheless embarrassing and as the saying goes, the best offense is a good defense!
