EW GROSS!

OK! IF YOU HAVE WHITE BED SHEETS…..stop reading this in a panic you’re fine. BUT! IF YOU HAVE (let’s say) DARK PURPLE BED SHEETS… YOU MIGHT BE ATTRACTING ALL THE BED BUGS!

Now wait, before you freak out and check your sheets, understand that this study in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that bed bugs have favourite colours. So really, the bed bugs are just confirming that you have fab style and are super trendy. 🙂

If you have black or red sheets though, maybe go freak out and check your bed. Because not only did this study find that bed bugs are attracted to darker colours, but that red and black are their absolute FAV!

It works like this, the same way that YOU enjoy dark cozy colours that feel warm and snug to look at, so do bed bugs!

Just in case, here’s a handy site that helps you check your home for bed bugs: www.epa.gov/bedbugs
