    I have a theory that you could transfer bedbugs by putting them in water balloons right before you fill them with water and tie them off, that way you could throw them and have them pop then due to how durable bedbugs are they would probably survive to breed

        Well maybe if people didn’t have easy access to bedbugs such as a mass infestation crisis they wouldn’t be spread around so easily

        well they are free to take but I think their size would cause them to get hurt when the balloon break on impact, the smaller the creature the less it could be hurt I’d guess like how a mouse can fall off a building without really getting hurt

      What about a spy balloon? If you put some bedbugs in a huge, high altitude balloon would some of then survive being shot down with an air-to-air missile?

        you know what it’s possible as long as they didn’t get squished or burned but this all just theory
