Do Bed Bugs Freeze?
If a bed bug wanders outside, it will eventually freeze or die. They’re able
to lower the freezing point of their bodily fluids, allowing them to live in
the cold for a few days. However, Bed bugs are a transfer bug, meaning they don’t get into your house
like a Stink Bug or Asian Lady bug, through cracks in a foundation or around
your windows and doors. They are carried or transferred into your house via a
person.
Bed Bugs Have a High Cold Tolerance
They can remain active at temperatures as low as 46 degrees, and they can survive at even lower
temperatures. If you keep your house at a cooler temperature during the winter
months, bed bugs may slow down, but they still stay active.
