Why Don’t Bedbugs Make Sounds?
WouterMost people think bedbugs make noises, but this is not true. In fact, bedbugs don’t make any sounds at all unless you’re very close to them. They don’t even make any noise when they are traveling or looking for food. Unless they’re hiding in a crack, you won’t hear them.
There are a few reasons why bedbugs don’t make sounds. One reason is that they don’t have wings, so they can’t produce a buzzing sound. But, some pests do make sounds. Bees, wasps, and flies make sounds, but not bed bugs. While they don’t produce a sound, they can detect a certain smell from the person they bite.
Another reason bedbugs don’t make sounds is that they are too small to make a buzzing sound. Female spiders, for instance, can pick up vibrations from vibrating leaves. But bedbugs don’t have wings, so they can’t use their wings to make buzzing sounds. Moreover, they are so small that they can’t hear movement, so they can’t make any sounds to communicate.
Other bugs also make sounds. Many insects make mating calls at night. Males make these sounds to attract females. Females find these males when they’re ready to mate.
