Why Are Bed Bugs On The Rise & Making a Comeback: There is not any concrete reasons as to why bed bugs are becoming so widespread lately but there are several good hypothesis. Scientists that study bed bugs have stated that one reason is because air travel has become more mainstream as well as affordable. Bed bugs are a huge problem when it comes to travel because there are people from all over the world sharing the same area. It only takes one person knowingly or not knowingly to sit by you or to send their luggage to baggage claim. It can end up sending the entire flight home with bed bugs and so the spreading begins. Another way that bed bugs are a problem with travel is that when people are staying in a hotel room that has been infested, they may bring them home. Second hand furniture poses a similar issue. Bed bugs are an even bigger problem due to lack of awareness and understanding of how bed bugs are spread, not to mention the stigma that comes with them. People are fearful of addressing the issue because they think that bed bugs mean they are dirty. That is far from the truth. Bed bugs are just as happy in a nice clean environment as a dirty one. Bed bugs need one thing – blood. And they can find that in any home.
