Do bugs live in pillows and blankets

Bed bugs - These are small parasites that feed exclusively on human blood. They lead a nocturnal lifestyle, and with the advent of the first rays of the sun, they hide under baseboards, sofas. Live breed as close to the food source as possible. They live under the upholstery of upholstered furniture, skirting boards, carpets.

Bed bugs

Bed bugs in pillows are extremely rare, and all because they do not meet safety criteria. The main reasons why parasites do not settle there:

  • artificial, natural raw materials are used for the filler; bed bugs in foam rubber, fluff, feathers do not live, their paws glide over materials, which significantly complicates the process of movement;
  • in feather pillows there are no conditions for reproduction, life, so they cannot settle there;
  • changing the position of the body in a dream, a person will crush a bloodsucker;
  • frequent change of pillowcases, when they are actively coward, hang out on the street for ventilation.

Feedback

I did not pay attention to the question of whether bugs can live in pillows and blankets, until I noticed them on the bed, duvet cover, pillowcase. She examined everything carefully, found nothing else. And under the mattress there were twenty of them, sprayed Kombat. I never met them again.

Important!

Bedbugs are found very rarely in pillows; if they were found, one should carefully examine the entire room.

How to process pillows:

  • ventilate and knock out;
  • change the filler from down to foam;
  • iron with a hot iron or put in the freezer;
  • to spray Dichlorvos.

Blankets and insects

Bloodsuckers, choose dark corners, from where it is easy for them to get out, get to a person and drink blood. There are no hidden places in the blanket, it is in the light, therefore it does not attract them.

The answer is unequivocal - bed bugs do not live in pillows and blankets. They do not attract insects, for many reasons. The light, the threat that he was about to be crushed, the frequent change of bedclothes makes the bloodsucker leave bedding as soon as possible.
