Trends in Bed Bug Numbers

Bed bugs are believed to have been around since the time of the caveman An increase in domestic and international travel is the likely cause of their resurgence over the last 10 years.

Other factors contributing to increased activity include the use of second-hand goods, and the movement of furniture and linens, changes in pest control procedures, and a generational lack of knowledge.

According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), bed bug infestations have risen 71% since 2001 and are expected to climb.
