Do you really have any chance of preventing the bed bugs from biting?

You know how the saying goes... "Don't let the bed bugs bite"

Well, unless you remained awake 24/7, and performed constant disinfectant sprays and/or pesticides on your bed sheets and your bedroom floor, you don't really have much of a choice except letting the bed bugs bite. After all, you're asleep! You are in your most vulnerable state in your sleep, due to being completely unaware of what is going on in your surroundings in the outside world.

So why even say don't let the bed bugs bite, when in fact, it is quite difficult to prevent them from doing so?

I try to post some thought-provoking threads and I'm asked if I'm ok...

Am I that bad at this stuff?

According to some material I read, bed bugs are rarely encountered because of improved sanitation in recent years. It also says they are 1/4" long now if I saw a 1/4" long bug on my bed, you better believe those sheets are coming off and getting washed. I think you should be more concerned about mites. They are invisible to the naked eye and everywhere

Those closeup shots of mites are scary. They're nasty looking things, aren't they? Eiw.

 

[Q]

My dogs are in charge of the bed bugs...and the mites.
I allow them to hog the whole bed and in return they valiantly defend me against all invaders.
