Seasonal differences can change how actively a bed bug infestation remains, even after treatment has occurred. Here’s how:



Temperature: A bed bug is an ectothermal insect that requires heat in order to be active. As fall and winter come, there is a possibility of a reduction in their activity, but still, they can be able to find some shelter in heated houses. On the other hand, there is a higher bed bug activity and reproduction rates during the warm and hot spring and summer seasons.

Humidity: Enhanced nematode humidity can promote bed bug milk growth and bed bug mesothelia. Usually, populations of bed bugs are on the rise during the rainy season or in well – moist climatic regions.

Travel: Changes in seasons are always accompanied by the travel of people within certain periods like summer holidays or holidays. These changes also involve travel that at times enhances the spreading of bed bugs to new places.

In order to reduce the chances of the treated bed bugs coming back in the future:

Continue to monitor for signs of infestation: It is worth checking the beddings and mattresses regularly as well as the carpets and couch as well as look for the bed bug evidence even if their absence is expected.

Be vigilant about bringing in new items: Whenever there are plans of bringing in used furniture or any used items into the house, it is important to ensure that there is an adequate inspection done beforehand.

Consider preventative measures: If you live in an area with high bed bug prevalence, you may want to take additional preventative measures, such as using bed bug covers or treating your mattress and box spring with a professional pest control service.

By understanding how seasonal changes can affect bed bug activity and taking proactive steps, you can help prevent a resurgence of the infestation and maintain a bed bug-free home.
