Babies, children and pets
Young ones, cats and dogs are all also subject to bed bug bites and the stress of a bed bug situation, but are no more at-risk for disease and infection than adults. Take special care of them.
Most insecticides used to treat bed bugs are not harmful to children or pets, but ask your exterminator before treatment to be sure.
