Once worms burrow far enough underground, the soil stays at a fairly constant temperature that keeps the worms warm through the winter. This warmer soil down deep acts like a warm blanket and insulates the worms from the cold. Night crawlers don't really hibernate like some animals do in the winter.

This is an interesting one among all bed bug myths since the truth is that: bed bugs usually are dormant during the day and hide in hard to reach areas during this period. They only come out at night to feed on their hosts and this makes them somewhat 'invisible'.

5. Bedbugs aren't truly nocturnal. Though these pests like to come out before dawn, don't think you can wait up all night to outsmart them.

The increase in heat and humidity during the summer and early fall months does appear to have the effect of making bed bugs more active. “More active” means that they will want to feed and breed more often. However, bed bugs are indoor pests and do not die out in the winter time, so vigilance is necessary year-round.
