What Is a Kissing Bug?
9. Prevention
Depending on where you live, kissing bugs are not something to be overly concerned by. Even in areas where they do live, they are unlikely to be found in the home so bites are unlikely. It is still wise to take precautions, however, especially if you have the type of home that the bugs might choose to make a home in.
If you have a home with cracks in the walls and elsewhere, you should do what you can to try and block those cracks. External lights might attract the bugs at night so make sure to turn them off. Also, make sure to keep any animal cages and firewood piles as far away from the house as you can.
