Neighbor Has Bed Bugs?

Should I Worry If My Neighbor Has Bed Bugs?

An apartment of condo presents a greater risk because bed bugs travel use electrical wire and plumbing to move through the walls. This means that bed bugs can easily make their way from one apartment to the next. The small size of bed bugs also makes it easy for them to climb through floorboards and electrical sockets. If you do transport bedbugs to your from a neighbor’s home, they can easily move from room to room in your home.
