They first get into your home either by unhatched eggs being in some luggage, furniture, bedding or other item brought into your home or in rare cases by live bedbugs crawling into your home from somebody else's home because they detect the breath of somebody asleep in your home from where they were. The commonest ways are from somebody buying second hand furniture from somebody whose home had a bedbug infestation in it and where a female bedbug laid its eggs in hidden part of that furniture, or else when you return from holiday having stayed somewhere like a hotel which had a bedbug infestation, and where perhaps one or more female bedbugs laid eggs in your luggage which you bring home with you without knowing. Once the eggs first hatch in your home the newly born nymph will detect your breath while you are asleep. It will want a meal so it will crawl towards where it detects your breath coming from, which may be 50 metres or more from where the eggs first hatch. Once it finds you it will climb or jump into your bed for its first blood meal off you, and then find a hiding place very close to where you sleep such as in your mattress seams or a hole in the floorbaords under your bed. After four succesive meals off you, the nymph will have become an adult bedbug and a female bedbug can then lay more eggs in or near your bed and so more nymphs may be born and gradually a major infestation come about, probably also spreading to other occupied beds in your home.

"Have you seen any signs of bedbugs in your home lately?"
No. You stay at home.
Well not bedbugs but will still more than likely speed the headline to anyone around!
If you see two, you've got 20. And yes, that's infested. Call an exterminator - home remedies won't work for bedbugs.
You would start itching and get red bumps.
not likely. You can have heaps or none.
To identify bedbugs in your home, look for small reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. Check for dark spots on bedding or furniture, which may be bedbug feces. Look for eggs, shed skins, or a musty odor. If you suspect bedbugs, contact a pest control professional for confirmation and treatment.
Employees who "have" bedbugs have a 10000 to one chance of bringing them out of their home or wherever the bedbugs reside (ie. their bed or furniture)
Bedbugs can be found in areas where people sleep or spend a lot of time, such as mattresses, bedding, furniture, and cracks in walls or floors. Be sure to also check behind picture frames, electrical outlets, and baseboards for signs of bedbugs.
NO. Do not confuse bedbugs with garden bugs. They are completely different. Bedbugs normally live inside a home in or near to a bed. They do not live outside in a garden. Bedbug eggs usually get brought into a home in furniture or luggage. When the eggs in the furniture or luggage hatch, the bedbugs set up their base close to where some person sleeps at night, which is usually thereafter in or near somebodys bed inside that home. That is why they are called bedbugs
Yes, if the bed is in an area infected with bedbugs you can and most likely will be bitten by bedbugs. You could also end up infecting your own home if they lay eggs on your clothing or if one hitches a ride with you when you go home.
