True or False: Wheelchairs and scooters are almost always infested if bed bugs are present.

The statement is false. While it is possible for bed bugs to infest wheelchairs and scooters, it is not accurate to say they are almost always infested if bed bugs are present in a location. Bed bugs typically hide in small crevices, seams, and folds of furniture and belongings that people commonly use while resting or sleeping, such as beds, sofas, and clothing. They can be transported inadvertently on items like bags or clothing, but the occurrence of bed bugs in wheelchairs and scooters specifically may depend on various factors, including usage patterns and environmental conditions.

Wheelchairs and scooters can certainly serve as potential hiding spots and areas for bed bug activity, especially if they are in close proximity to heavily infested areas. However, asserting that these items are almost always infested when bed bugs are present does not take into account the specific conditions required for an infestation to occur. Therefore, bed bugs can be present without necessarily infesting every item in the vicinity, including wheelchairs and scooters.
