Why Irondale homes get bed bugs

The sandy loam over clay, with Black Belt gumbo in the south that surrounds Irondale is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what bed bugs need to thrive. The Piedmont foothills and Black Belt prairie adds harborage, and the humid subtropical with hot summers and mild winters keeps the activity going through most of the year. The older neighborhoods in town have the most mature trees and the most moisture issues, and the newer subdivisions on the outskirts sit on land that was recently pasture or field, which brings its own pest profile.
