where bed bugs come from
The truth is that there is no one single place bed bugs congregate. Essentially, they can be found in any environment where humans spend a lot of time. These insects travel easily, which is why it’s extremely common for people to pick them up on trips. Many assume you can only get bed bugs from bedding, yet these pests can actually hide out in a range of furniture. Speaking of which, you should never bring discarded furniture in from the curb. Even if there’s a sign hanging on it that says the furniture is fine, once it has been tossed away, it’s always better to play it safe and leave it alone.
Common places where bed bugs like to congregate include:
- Public transportation
- Public libraries
- Hotel/motel rooms
- In suitcases/luggage
- In second-hand box springs, mattresses, and other furniture

Keep in mind, one of the reasons bed bugs have been able to come back from the brink of extinction in recent years is because of widespread travel. With more people flying in and out of the country than ever, it is increasingly easy to accidentally come back home with a bed bug problem—without even realizing it. That’s why it’s extremely important to watch out for signs of a bed bug infestation, including red spots on your bedding, small eggs and shells in your bed or around your property, a musty, sweet smell pervading your air, and little clumps of bites on your body.
