So I&#8217;ve put together a few <a title=\"Articles About Bed Bugs in Arizona\" href=\"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/category\/bed-bugs-2\">articles about bed bugs<\/a> and what to do about them. To start it off, let&#8217;s talk about the origin of bed bugs.<\/p>\n<p>Many people ask where the bed bug came from and the best explanation I can find is they came from caves. It seems that there is a closely related bug called the <strong>bat bug<\/strong> that feeds on bats found in caves. The theory is that man and bats shared these caves and that over time the bed bugs&#8217; taste changed from bats to man. The theory is open for debate, but it is the best explanation I&#8217;ve found. Regardless, they are here and are very difficult to control if you don&#8217;t use the right equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people ask where the bed bug came from and the best explanation I can find is they came from caves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,10],"tags":[56],"class_list":["post-810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bed-bugs-2","category-bugs","tag-bed-bugs","wpcat-80-id","wpcat-10-id"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
