My company's office once had an infestation because some travelers had carried them into the office from their hotel room.
Also, bed bugs aren't "dirty" but instead they're bloodsuckers, like mosquitos. They aren't attracted to dirt, they're attracted to humans.

Lots and lots of hotels & motels have them in some cities (Cincinnati is a hotspot) and many apartments as well. Trained dogs are used to sniff them out. Supposedly they have a slight cilantro-like odor that the pooches can detect. If you wake up with red marks and welts, probably bed bugs.
