Norman has specific factors that make bed bug spread especially common:
University housing: With thousands of students moving in and out of apartments near OU each semester, bed bugs easily hitch rides on luggage, furniture, and backpacks.
Shared living spaces: Apartment complexes, duplexes, and rental homes share walls and plumbing. Once bed bugs enter one unit, they migrate to neighbors through cracks and electrical outlets.
