These blood sucking pests move around from place to place by attaching themselves to people/hosts clothing, body and or belongings. They are capable of going undetected. Tulsa, Oklahoma has had high numbers of bedbug infestations. From schools to hotels, apartments and homes. They are literally found in every part of Tulsa. The bed bug population looks to explode over the next 2-5 years. Bed Bugs do not care if you are rich or poor, clean or untidy. These pests are opportunistic and once they have hitchhiked with you can become your worst pest nightmare. Pest Control for these pests is expensive and typically requires anywhere from 3-4 treatments. They can be killed with high heat, steam and of course a variety of pesticides.
Bed bugs are secretive insects. They live in the dark tight cracks, crevices, and holes near sleeping areas.
New bed bug infestations are usually centered around the mattress and bed frame. In heavier infestations, bugs move out to occupy hiding places further from the bed as well.
Bed bugs can hide in beds, furniture, piles of clothing, back packs, and similar everyday items. They can live for 6 to 7 months between feedings.
Common Ways for Bed Bugs to Infest Apartments
The most common way for bed bugs to invade your home is for you, your family, or your friends to bring them in without realizing it. Bed bugs are excellent “hitch-hikers.” Here are some ways you could bring bed bugs into your home: |

- Picking up bed bug-infested beds, mattresses, or furniture that has been discarded and placed on the street or by a dumpster.
- Visiting someone who has bed bugs and carrying them back with you on your clothing or possessions. (Children playing together in one home after another can be transferring bed bugs in their toys and backpacks.)
- Staying overnight in a bed bug-infested room in a hotel or home and bringing them home in your luggage.
- Renting furniture infested with bed bugs from furniture rental companies.
- Buying bed bug-infested second-hand furniture, carpets, blankets, luggage, pictures, and fixtures from stores, yard sales, auctions, and flea markets.
- Bed bugs can also migrate from one apartment to the next through pipe and wiring runs, and through wall and ceiling voids, in the same way that cockroaches move between apartments.
- Treatment is the only solution to these bloodsucking pests. If you are being bitten in your bed, couch or other areas by a pest then you might have bedbugs. These infestations can start with just a few and explode to thousands in just a few short months. Call a pest control professional before the infestation runs you out of your home.
