Question about Bed Bugs, do you know if?

If you keep the room dirty, bed sheets-pillows etc., then you will attract Bed Bugs, but if you keep the room sanitized you will never have Bed Bugs. Is this information all true?

Answer:

Bed bugs or bugs that are attracted to beds?? What the heck is that supposed to mean? It's crystal clear that this question addresses bed bugs (Cimicidae). If you keep the room dirty, bed sheets-pillows etc., then you will attract Bed Bugs, but if you keep the room sanitized you will never have Bed Bugs. Is this information all true? -- No, it is not true. While bed bugs are often reported to be found when sanitation conditions are poor or when birds or mammals (particularly bats) are nesting on or near a home, bed bugs can also live and thrive in clean environments. Crowded living quarters also facilitate the spread of bed bugs. They can be found on upholstered furniture, fabrics and curtains/drapes and in the tiny cracks in furniture. They can live in ANY area but are most common in areas where people sleep and generally concentrate in beds, including mattresses, box springs and bed frames. It's a mistake to associate bed bugs with filth. This is not what attracts them. They feed on blood, NOT waste! What attracts bed bugs is exhaled carbon dioxide and body heat.
Yes. I'm not sure if your talking about the actual bed bugs or other bugs that are attracted to dirt which can be found in beds. For example, silverfisk, ants, or pinchers. Either way its a yes. If your sheets and or pillows have collected dust particles, old skin, hair, or food. Insects such as silver fish can grow right then and there. Gross isn't it? Insects could either come through cracks within the walls, or multiply in an area where they feel like it. I sleep with all three dogs in my bed, therefore i have to vacuum my bed and get rid of the hair every day. I also have to shake off the covers, pillows, and sometimes linens outside. The actual bed bug insect do attract to dirty beds, although they're more likely to appear in hotels and such. They are microscopic, so you won't see them. But that doesn't mean they're not there. Hope this helps and keep your room clean!
