Bed Bugs will infest leather sofa’s they will infest almost any material where:

1 There is a regular source of food (people)
2 The climate is not to cold or dry for them

I have however found that in the case of leather furniture they are less likely to be found in the seams and tufts compared with fabric materials.

I also find that the smoother surface means they are more likely to drop off if I stamp my feet when I leave the infected location that colleagues wearing fabric clothes.

That combined with the fact that they match the seat on my shooting stick means I am certainly colour co-ordinated.

I guess its one of those that may be part scientific theory and part fashion statement but after all these years only having 4 Bed Bugs make it home with me is a major result.

David

And to Renee for the extensive task of transcribing. Excellent questions. I have to ask David: why do bed bugs infest leather sofas? I suppose they can more or less avoid walking on leather itself, since there's all that cloth and webbing and other stuff down there. Excellent interview: Thanks to David for taking the time!
