No this is unlikely but not impossible. Bedbugs basically live in or near people's beds. However one or more may possibly first get there after a female bedbug laid eggs in your clothes, perhaps while you were staying in a hotel with a bedbug infestation, and your clothes were lying somewhere in your room. You would be unlikely to see the eggs. It is much less likely an alive bedbug would be transported back home with you, but without you seeing it and killing it. It is after the eggs hatch that the newly born bedbug nymph will be attracted towards your bed while you are asleep, and after its first meal off you set up its new base in or near your bed.
Always check your rooms if you stay at a hotel, check rental cars, airplane seats, and all your clothes when you get back from a vacation. Bedbugs are becoming more and more common and harder to avoid.
If bedbugs have infested your clothes, they are going to be everywhere else, too. You should contact an exterminator, and when you call to make an appointment for them to come treat the problem, ask them what you should do about your clothes. Do this right away so you don't get bites from the bedbugs and so you don't spread them to others.On the lighter side:No, go out by all means, just don't wear the vest.If they invested your clothing, and you don't have other clothes to wear now, you should stay home until you have earned enough dividends to buy a new wardrobe.
yes
No. You stay at home.
To determine if bedbugs have infested your clothes, carefully inspect them for small reddish-brown bugs, dark spots or stains, and tiny eggs or eggshells. Look in seams, folds, and crevices of the clothing. Additionally, check for bites on your skin, as bedbugs often leave itchy red welts. If you suspect an infestation, wash and dry your clothes on high heat to kill any bedbugs.
You can tell if bedbugs are in your clothes by looking for small reddish-brown bugs or dark spots on the fabric, as well as noticing any bites on your skin that appear in a line or cluster.
No, as bedbugs may reach the bathtub.
Clorox bleach can kill bedbugs on surfaces, but it is not recommended for use on clothing due to potential damage and discoloration. While it may eliminate some bedbugs, it won't effectively treat an infestation, as the bugs can hide in seams and folds. Instead, washing clothes in hot water and drying them on high heat is a more effective and safer method for eliminating bedbugs.
Bedbugs apparently do not cause a communicable disease, and therefore are not considered a "threat" to the general public. It might be technically true, but what they don't tell you is that once you get bedbugs onto your clothes and body, and bring them home, you are doomed. Bedbugs are almost impossible to get rid of from clothes, furniture and bedding, and I have heard even after 3 heat treatments, an expensive fumigation technique, they can still be a problem. I think the public deserves the right to know when a public building has a problem with bedbugs, and should have to close its doors until the bedbugs have been removed, and an inspection done to prove so.
Urinating on your bed does not bring bedbugs.
