But on the train and on the plane, the seats in the cinema, the office, the school, the library,
Even restaurants.
According to 2015 surveys of 236 pests
National Pest Management Association (National Pest Management Association (NPMA)
And the University of Kentucky.
However, experts say you really don\'t have to worry too much about these mistakes
Usually living within 8 feet of people\'s sleep.
Ride home with you when you\'re out and about.
\"They can appear almost anywhere imaginable,\" said Michael Porter, a bed bug researcher at the University of Kentucky Insect professor.
But \"when the numbers are low, it may not be possible for people to take them home, which is a\" non-
Bed environment.
\"There may be a few places to watch, though.
It is wise to be vigilant here.
Since 2010, the number of bug encounters by pest professionals in nursing homes has increased by more than 50%, ranking first on the NPMA survey list.
In fact, 58% of respondents said they were asked to deal with an outbreak at pension institutions.
The public life of the nursing home makes it easy for residents and staff to inadvertently transport bugs.
Older people are unlikely to feel itchy after being bitten
Due to less immune system response
Therefore, one problem may not be noticed.
Miller, a professor of entomology at Virginia Tech, said it may also be difficult for older people to see bugs.
But it is not clear how common these bug problems are.
The findings of the NPMA \"do not mean, for example, that 58% of nursing homes have bed bugs --
Only 58% of pests
\"The control company found bugs in the nursing homes they served that year,\" Porter said . \".
The office building was the third in the NPMA survey. most-
Right under the homeless shelter.
University dormitories ranked fourth, schools and daycare ranked fifth, and hospitals and medical facilities ranked sixth.
However, the real impact seems to be minimal, Potter says, especially in schools, daycare centers and workplaces.
They are more likely to live in dormitories, where students sleep in each other\'s rooms and spend some time in public areas.
But \"usually, universities spend all their money to solve the problem,\" Miller notes . \".
In the hospital emergency room and the waiting room, it seems that the situation of bed bugs has increased, but it is not necessarily an infection.

Keep in mind if you find bugs: a bug will not get infected.
Ask who handled these questions and report them.

● Be alert to nursing homes.
