How do you get bed bugs?

Bed bugs are not caused by poor hygiene or poor housekeeping. They often occur in apartments with a high turnover rate.

Many different people come and go in hotels, hostels, university halls and prisons, so bed bugs can spread easily.

Bed bugs were originally parasites that took bats as hosts and lived in caves, but when humans moved into the cave, the bed bugs sucked their blood instead.

Bed bugs hitchhiked with the cavemen and spread to Europe and Asia and then elsewhere.

As more and more people travel for business and pleasure, bed bugs spread quickly.
