Are there bed bugs in camp cabins?

Question

i heard that bed bugs only attract to matresses that are not plastic and the matress in the cabin is plastic..will there be bed bugs?

Answer 1

no, but rub a little garlic in the corners just to be sure.

Answer 2

yes...Cimex lectularius is very resilient...anywhere there is a high turnover of occupants, there are likely bed bugs-clean the mattress before use, use a mild soapy solution, wipe with a damp towel, then use a little deet insect repellant, works every time...good luck

Answer 3

probably

Hello,

Bed Bugs are a symptom of  human body fluids, such as sweat or urine which may have soiled or penetrated the coverings of sofas, bed linens, or secreted themselves through the cracks of chairs, furniture, or wooden walls.

If these sheets, mattresses, or furniture are not properly cleaned, aired, or sanitized. Overtime, it induces the breeding of parasites called 'bed bugs.'

And is not only found in homes, but wherever humans sleep, or socialize.

Answer 5

bed bugs can live ANYWHERE, the come to feed on people while they are in the bed, they don't necessarily live there.  Camps are specifically vulnerable to infestation because the bugs actually prefer to live in wood because of the porous nature of wood and the prevalence of cracks, and camp cabins usually are made of that.  

the bed could be made of plastic, straw, or yogurt and they would still be able to get to you because they don't necessarily live inside the bed (although they actually may have trouble walking on a bed made of yogurt)

However, that doesn't mean that all camps have bedbugs, many people make the association that these guys come from the forest, which they do not.  

You shouldn't assume that it will have them, but the short answer is:  the composition of the bed has nothing to do with whether or not there will be bugs.
