While this means our beds are the perfect home for them as we sleep in\nthem every day, bedbugs are resilient and can make a home on the sofa, in the\ncarpet, in furniture showrooms, and on public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people equate bedbugs with poor maintenance. That\u2019s not true! Some of the best-kept homes, hotels\u2026even buses\u2026 have had to deal with these parasites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buses, trains, and\neven taxis are ideal for bedbugs as they\u2019re warm and sheltered, with a steady\nsupply of food (that\u2019s us!) coming and going all day long. As bedbugs need\nblood meals before they can lay eggs, they can rapidly infest seats on public\ntransport and, on occasion, whole buses and train carriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/termirepel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bedbugs-on-bus.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2226\" width=\"349\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.termirepel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bedbugs-on-bus.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.termirepel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bedbugs-on-bus-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>About the size of an apple\nseed, bedbugs hide in the cracks and crevices of beds, box springs, headboards,\nbed frames and any other objects around a bed.
