Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pests for apartment residents in Palm Beach County, especially in multi-unit buildings with shared walls and common areas. Unlike ants or roaches, bed bugs are not caused by cleanliness. They spread by hitchhiking on luggage, furniture, and clothing, making apartment complexes particularly vulnerable.
According to guidance published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, because early detection is critical to prevent bed bugs from spreading between apartment units and neighboring buildings.
