Bugs are often attracted to rubbing alcohol because it can mimic the scent of certain natural substances they are drawn to, such as fermentation or decay. Additionally, the alcohol's strong odor can attract insects like fruit flies, which are lured by the smell of ethanol. Furthermore, rubbing alcohol can act as a solvent, drawing insects in closer before it evaporates, potentially causing disorientation or harm.

Oh, dude, rubbing alcohol doesn't actually repel bed bugs, it kills them on contact. So, if you're looking to protect your bed from those sneaky biters, just spray some rubbing alcohol directly on them. But hey, be careful with that stuff on your skin, it can be pretty harsh. Maybe stick to using it on surfaces instead of yourself, unless you want to smell like a walking hospital.
