The combination of frequent travel, festive cleaning, and movement of household items during Diwali makes it an ideal season for bedbugs to spread. At EcoFriendlyPests, we understand how to protect your home naturally with eco-friendly pest control methods that are safe, sustainable, and highly effective.
Why Bedbug Activity Increases During Diwali
- Frequent Guest Visits & Travel
With families and friends visiting or staying over, bedbugs can easily hitchhike on luggage, clothes, or furniture.
- Festive Cleaning & Furniture Rearranging
During Diwali, most homes undergo deep cleaning and rearranging. This disturbs hidden bedbugs, spreading them to new areas.
- Buying New Furniture or Upholstery
Used or second-hand furniture bought during Diwali sales can unknowingly bring bedbugs home.
- Warmer Indoor Temperatures
As people light lamps and keep homes warm and cozy, these conditions create the perfect breeding ground for bedbugs.
