Bed bugs are known to dig in hair near the scalp during their stints out from hiding. They use these spots as base camps. So if you find bed bug eggs in your head of hair, there’s a good chance they’re actually in your mattress…and walls…and couch. The eggs are so tiny though, it can be hard to spot them. Even if you do, getting rid of infestations is a lot harder than it sounds. As you might already know, bed bug infestations are difficult to control on your own without professional assistance. Even the most experienced homesteaders cannot effectively isolate and eliminate the problem without expert help. Bed bugs can invade nearly any part of your home, including your hair and clothes. This article will provide a history of bed bugs and their migration patterns, as well as details on how they live and who can be vulnerable to their bites.

Bed Bug Eggs In Hair

If you think you have bed bugs, you may be worried about their eggs and whether they can get into your hair. Bed bugs lay their eggs in fabric, so if you have them in your home, there’s a good chance they’ll end up in your sheets, towels and clothes. However, the likelihood of them making it into your hair is very low, even if they are thriving in your bedclothes.

You may be thinking that if bed bugs are living in your sheets and clothing, they will eventually end up in your hair as well. While it is technically possible that some of them could climb up the leg of your pants or skirt and into your scalp, this is unlikely because they are so small. Bed bugs are not known to fly or jump either, so they will not spread through the air.

Bed bug eggs are even smaller than an eyelash (1mm), which means that even if one did land on your head—something that doesn’t happen often—it would be very difficult for it to make its way down into your hair follicle.

Does my hair need to be clean to prevent bed bug eggs from getting caught in it?

The answer is: no. Bed bug eggs are sticky, but only to hair. If the eggs do not find a place to adhere to, they will fall off your body and onto anything else that is available. Bed bugs like carpets and upholstery because they provide warmth and food (you). Hair will not be a good place for them if you properly launder your clothes after having been in an infected area.

Why don’t bed bug eggs stick to hair?

Bed bug eggs are sticky, but hair is oily. So why don’t bed bugs lay their eggs in our hair? Bed bug eggs are sticky because they’re meant to stick to a surface, so they can stay attached there until they hatch into nymphs. But why don’t the eggs stick to your hair?

It’s because human hair has an oily coating that makes it difficult for things like dust and dirt particles—or even bed bug eggs—to adhere to them. This same factor also helps keep dandruff from being attracted by static electricity and causes hairspray bottle tops not to work properly (which is why you have to shake your bottle before spraying).

Do bed bugs only live in beds?

Bed bugs can be found in a variety of places inside and outside the home. They live in mattresses, bed frames, bedding, furniture and carpeting. Bed bugs are often found hiding behind baseboards or loose wallpaper in apartments and hotels. Although they prefer to feed on human blood, their presence is not necessarily an indication of uncleanliness or poor hygiene.

Therefore, they are most likely to nest close to a food source (you). Bed bugs can survive in a wide range of temperatures and environments; however, they prefer warm areas where people spend time.

Bed bugs don’t live in hair and cannot fly or jump. They crawl at an average speed of about one-half inch per second – which means if your hair is shoulder length or longer and you’re sitting on a bus with people around you looking like this:
