Red and black are the colors that these pests are drawn to. Scientists believe bed bugs prefer these colors since they are similar to the coloring of these pests. Bed bugs typically gather in large numbers, so seeing red and black makes them think that other bed bugs are nearby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which Colors Repel Bed Bugs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Researchers found that bed bugs usually stay away from green and yellow. The lighter tones of these colors might resemble light, which bed bugs avoid. It\u2019s important to note that color preferences are also based on other factors, such as age and sex.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that having lighter-colored sheets isn\u2019t a foolproof way to prevent bed bugs.
