There's a lot of bad information out there about bed bugs. Myths lead to wasted money, failed treatments, and unnecessary shame. Let's set the record straight on the most common misconceptions.

Myth: Bed Bugs Only Live in Dirty Homes

False. Bed bugs don't care about cleanliness - they care about blood. Five-star hotels get them. Spotless homes get them. They're hitchhikers, not a sign of poor housekeeping. This myth just adds shame to an already stressful situation.

Myth: You Can't See Bed Bugs

False. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and definitely visible. They're just good at hiding. You might not see them casually, but a thorough inspection can find them.
