Where do bed bugs come from?
there several common ways can infestation...just avoid these:
1) living in apartment. bed bugs live or crawl in spaces in between walls well, , if neighbors have them, well. can make harder permanently rid of them, since you've got potential source of re-infestation until neighbors take care of own infestation.
2) travel. many hotels have infestations. international travel, more likely. bed bugs crawl luggage , carried home, , takes 1 infestation started there, too.
if must travel, check hotel bed bedbugs enter room. pull mattress box spring , sign of infestation. if see bugs, blood, or feces, go different hotel or motel. not accept different room @ same hotel.
also, check hotel on bed bug registry before ever booking room. if it's on registry, don't stay there:

3) clothing. house crawling onto clothes randomly - pretty rare.
4) used furniture or clothing. more common - if buy used clothes or used furniture, there can bed bugs in them (they don't live in beds, anywhere near people sleep). if bring used house, can bed bugs.
5) occupation. if regularly go other people's houses reason, bring bed bugs way. if you're cable guy, plumber, or goes other people's houses, you're @ risk.
6) guests. if stays @ house, bring them on them. 1 big source of students coming home holidays - dorm rooms pick infestation given how many people coming in , out time over.
7) wild animals. kind of rare way people have gotten them, people have had animals house short period , bring them in them. birds , bats common offenders.
eradicated past half-century in industrialized world, bed bugs making comeback.
