Im not sure if my 1st question went through or not, but I wanted to know if someone has bed bugs, can they be spread to my home if they visit me?
Bedbugs can be carried around in any clothing or anything else from the point of contagion to a new place. They are similar to fleas, hair lice, dust mites in ya just can't get rid of them if you have fabrics in your home. Carpets, drapes, bedding!! all must be destroyed to get rid of the critters. I grew up being told sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite and always thought they were extinct. Now I find out a lot of hotels are infected with them!!!
yes and they have made a come back
Don't be ridiculous. Cleanliness has not a darn thing to do with people getting bed bugs. I have no idea how you even associated the two. Do mosquitoes bite dirty people? Nooo... so why would bed bugs only bite dirty people? Logic, please? And 100000000% absolutely, of course bed bugs can spread through apartment walls, and especially if you guys don't get regular extermination with those caulking tools. Even with preventative measures, they can still get you through the outlets, and they sense humans and their scents and body heat. You should be concerned and freaked out about contracting them. There are preventative measures and you should take them now, before you end up like me and contract bed bugs. I think I got mine from my family traveling so much. And sure, bed bugs might be slightly worse if you have a lot of clutter in your home, but I am the world's anti-pack-rat, the anti-clutter, and I have bed bugs worse than I could have ever imagined. It is a living hell and I do not wish it on you. Set the legs of your bed in mineral oil, go to the store and get some kind of bed bug repellent, Home Depot has TONS of options. You should be able to find a good preventative pesticide. If you have the money, buy a plastic, air-tight mattress cover and get that out of the way. That's the best thing you can do. They cost about 60-100 dollars. I hope you avoid the B-Bugs. Good luck.
Yes. Bed bugs can be spread. But I doubt that it can be spread when the person goes over to visit you. Unless that person woke up wearing what he wore to sleep and didn't bathe before going to your house. Usually bed bugs are spread by sharing a bed. Eg: I have bed bugs, and I go sleep in my parent's bed in the middle of the night. Then I might bring my bed bugs along. So I think you're safe.
