By not washing your sheets on a regular basis.
From not washing your sheets nasty
By not putting your bed posts in water which makes it difficult for the bed bugs to travel to your bed.
believe it or not bedbugs are actually dead skin particles. they can come from you, your pets, etc. etc.
sorry but all of the answers about not washing your sheets are not correct. Bed bugs are not limited to just dirty bedding, they are hitch hikers that are brought into your home or business, particularly lodging, hospitality type businesses from guest. You could get bed bugs in your home from many sources, if you have been on a trip recently and have stayed in a hotel, it is possible that you could bring them home in your suitcase, etc. Overnight guest at your home could bring them with there clothing, or other possessions. If you have children who have a friend spend the night, if the friends home has bed bugs they could bring them in with them. You also could get bed bugs by bringing used, or rental furniture into your home. In many areas bed bugs have become so much of a problem that ordinances have been passed making sale of used mattresses/ box springs illegal. While this may help to control bed bugs from spreading they can also be found any where that people, (their food source) spend a lot of time particularly where people rest, this may be on areas other than beds, such as couches, chairs, etc. There have been reports in various areas of the country of bed bug infestations in theathres, public transportation, etc. they didn’t get there because someone didn’t wash the sheets, they were introduced by something being brought in that had bed bugs on or in it. They do not just develop from dirt, they are an insect that is a parasite of humans, they require blood meals to develop and grow therough there 5 nymphal stages of development to adult. Contrary to popular belief dirt has nothing to do with it.
