Bed bugs are lazy. They want to stay near their food source: you. That’s your bed, your sofa, your favorite chair.
They don’t infest your closet like moths. They don’t lay eggs in your jeans. They are homebodies with a serious feeding schedule.
But here’s the sneaky part. They will hitch a ride. If you sleep somewhere infested, they’ll crawl onto your clothes at night. Just for the trip.
The “Hitchhiker” Myth (It’s Real)
Imagine a tiny vampire with a backpack. That’s a bed bug on your shirt. They aren’t moving in; they’re catching a lift.
Why? Because your clothes smell like you. And they follow the scent of blood. It’s like a free Uber to the next meal.
They cling to folds and seams. Check your collar, waistband, and sock cuffs. That’s where the stowaways hide.
