Kissing bugs can live indoors, in cracks and holes of substandard housing, or in a variety of outdoor settings including beneath porches, between rocky structures, under cement, in rock, wood, brush piles, or beneath bark, in rodent nests or animal burrows, in outdoor dog houses or kennels, and in chicken coops or houses. They are typically found in the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America (as far south as southern Argentina).
