Myth 1: Bedbugs are only found in dirty homes.
Fact: Bedbugs don’t discriminate based on cleanliness. These pests are equally attracted to
both clean and dirty environments, as long as there are places for them to hide. A tidy home
is just as vulnerable to a bed bug infestation as a cluttered one.

Myth 2: Bedbug bites only occur at night.​
Fact: While bedbugs are nocturnal creatures, they will bite any time they are hungry. If they
are disturbed during the day, they might still feed. It’s important to regularly check for signs
of bed bugs, even if you don’t notice bites immediately.

Myth 3: Bedbugs spread disease.
Fact: Although bedbugs are annoying and can cause discomfort due to their bites, they are
not known to transmit diseases to humans. However, they can cause other issues such as
allergic reactions or secondary infections from scratching bites.

Myth 4: You can get rid of bedbugs with just over-the-counter treatments.​
Fact: While there are some effective bedbug sprays, professional pest control is usually
needed for full eradication. DIY methods can fail to reach all of the insects, leaving behind a
lingering infestation that could worsen over time.

Myth 5: Bedbugs are too small to be seen.​
Fact: Adult bedbugs are about the size of an apple seed, making them visible to the naked
eye. Bedbug eggs, however, are smaller and harder to spot, which is why it’s important to
thoroughly check all areas where bedbugs are likely to hide.
