First bed bugs do not come from outside, no your Dog or Cat did not bring them in to the Home, and getting Bed Bugs is just bad luck really has nothing to do with your social class or how clean your Home is. Bed Bugs only have one way they come in, they were transferred in by a Person at some point because that Person or Personal Belongings were in another location that has Bed Bugs. Once the Pest has infested that Home it will travel throughout that home or through walls in Apartment buildings infesting several units.

Bed Bugs can easily be found and picked up at Hotels, Friend’s Houses, Family’s Houses, Restaurants, Movie Theaters, the DMV even, just about any Home or indoor public place you can think of.

People that can bring them to your Home can be, a Cleaning Service, Hospice, Caretakers, Friends visiting, Family visiting, or just about anyone that brings themselves or their belongings into your Home. Also as to be noted they will not likely survive in your Car unless you keep it in the Garage. If you put the Car outside in the sun it will get hot enough to kill them off. However, in winter or cooler environments the cool weather will insulate them. Its best to put a digital temperature monitor in the Car to ensure it got hot enough inside. Typically 130 degrees should be enough in the Car after several hours since there is not much in the Car for them to insulate themselves. If your Car is full of stuff remove the items unless it’s your intention to heat those items as well then extend the heating time.
