Can Bed Bugs Inhabit the Crawl Space Under a House

by Anonymous Reader

If you have a crawl space under your house, will the bed bug or could the bed bugs be in there also, and if so can the self treatment take care of those to.

While it is possible, Bed bugs will locate as close to a food source as possible. This could be any mammal. Bed bugs will also die in sustained freezing temperatures, so any living in an area that experiences these temperatures would not be a problem.

The challenge of home treatment are any bed bugs that are hiding deep into any cracks and crevices. In general I'd focus on removing any potential hiding spaces that are indoors.
