"Carbon Dioxide</STRONG></H3>\n<P>Bed bugs are more active when people are asleep. Aside from blood, these pests are also attracted to carbon dioxide (CO2). Bed bugs thrive in places with a lot of this gas. CO2 serves as a signal for these insects, like a dinner bell for their next meal. We create a cloud of carbon dioxide by breathing, and because we don’t move around too much while sleeping, the gas we exhale becomes concentrated in our bed area.</P>\n<H3><STRONG>Heat</STRONG></H3>\n<P>Bed bugs travel and search for hosts. There’s one more thing that these insects are attracted to warmth. Your body temperature rises while you’re asleep, and body heat draws these pests out of hiding. These insects can detect our warmth from up to three feet away. When they sense your body heat, you become suitable prey.</P>\n<P>These insects are also attracted to the warmth trapped in bedsheets. They will congregate around the area near the headboard of your bed, and if they stay for long, these pests will multiply in numbers.</P>\n<H3><STRONG>Dirty Laundry</STRONG></H3>\n<P>Dirty laundry produces a scent that attracts bed bugs. Aside from heat and carbon dioxide, these pests also love the smell of our body oils and sweat. Dirty laundry left for too long is perfect for bed bugs to nest in and reproduce.</P>\n<H3><STRONG>Dark Bedding</STRONG></H3>\n<P>Bed bug control studies observed the color preference of bed bugs. It was found that these insects are attracted to black and red colors. Naturally, these pests like the dark, and the two colors mimic darkness and blood. Dark sheets can attract bed bugs, and these sheets make it harder to spot these pests.</P>\n<H3><STRONG>Eliminate Bed Bugs Today</STRONG></H3>\n<P>Bed bugs can be troublesome.
