There are several reasons why they are becoming more common today. Some of these reasons are enumerated below:
Increased Global Travel: With the rise in international travel, bedbugs are adept hitchhikers and can easily climb onto luggage, clothing, and other belongings, allowing them to spread quickly across cities and even countries.
Resilience to Pesticides: Over time, bed bugs have developed resistance to many commonly used pesticides, making it more challenging to eradicate them through traditional methods.
Lack of Awareness: Many people are unaware of the signs of a bed bug infestation or how they spread. This lack of awareness can lead to delayed detection and treatment, allowing bed bugs multiply quickly.
Increased Urbanization: As cities become more densely populated, the likelihood of an infestation spreading from one location to another increases. These bugs thrive and are commonly found in areas with a high concentration of people and may quickly move from one building to another.
Second-Hand, Moving Furniture & Clothing: Infestations can be unknowingly transported into new homes through used items that harbor bed bugs. Carefully inspect these items before bringing them at home.
