Can bed bugs get into comics and how?

It's highly unlikely. Bed bugs usually infest places like beds and furniture, not comics.

In comics, bed bugs are often shown as small, creepy pests that cause trouble and chaos.

One way to handle it is to seal the affected books and comics in plastic bags and put them in a freezer for a few days. This can kill the bed bugs. Also, regularly vacuuming the storage area can help prevent infestations.

One success story involved using diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it around the bed frame, along baseboards, and in corners where bed bugs might hide. The sharp particles cut the exoskeleton of the bugs, dehydrating them. Another person had success with heat treatment. They washed all bedding in hot water and dried on high heat, then used a space heater to raise the temperature in the infested room to a level that kills bed bugs.

Maybe it's to build suspense and add drama. It makes the story more interesting for the readers.

There are a few animals that might feed on bed bugs. Geckos, for instance, are known to hunt and eat small insects like bed bugs. Some predatory insects like certain wasps also have the ability to target bed bugs.

Caricatures of bed bugs usually play up their creepy appearance. Maybe they're shown with really sharp teeth or a menacing expression. Also, the colors used might be very bold and exaggerated to make them stand out.

One success story could be a hotel that managed to completely eradicate bed bugs. They first identified the infested rooms through regular inspections. Then, they used a combination of heat treatment and insecticide sprays. The heat treatment was set at a high enough temperature to kill all the bed bugs and their eggs. After that, they continued to monitor the rooms closely for any signs of a recurrence, and so far, they have remained bed bug - free.

There was a person who made a DIY bed bug trap. They took a large plate, put some double - sided tape in the middle, and placed a small piece of meat or a cotton ball soaked in blood (from a butcher) in the center. The bed bugs were attracted to the smell and got stuck on the tape. By regularly checking and replacing the bait, they were able to catch a large number of bed bugs and eventually got rid of them completely.

The fact that they are so hard to get rid of. You might think you've eliminated them, but they can come back and infest your place again. They hide in small crevices and multiply quickly, which is really scary.
