Bed Bug Prevention
September 27, 2019
Preventing Bed Bugs Can Definitely be Easier than Treating for Bed Bugs once You Have an Infestation.
I will outline a few things you should do to prevent bed bugs from hitchhiking back to your home from a hotel visit or bringing them with you to work from a hotel or your home, etc.
The number one way to contract a bed bug infestation is to stay or visit a hotel room with bed bugs.
Most people bring the bed bugs home in their luggage and clothing during a hotel stay.
Common sense is to limit where your bags are kept during your hotel stay and monitor where your clothing is kept in the hotel room.
The biggest key is to inspect your hotel room before you put any bags in there. Leave your bags in the bathroom. Bed bugs do not do slick surfaces.
What to Do First:
- Start by pulling the sheets back entirely. Look for bed bugs, bed bug larvae, and colored fecal stains left behind from the bed bugs.
- Also, pull up the mattress and thoroughly look under it for any sign of bed bugs or their remnants.
- If you have a flashlight, look behind the headboard, bed frames, and under the bed, including the box springs, for bed bug evidence.
This will be an excellent first step in becoming aware of a potential bed bug infestation before you bring in your suitcases and bags.
Now that you have inspected the bed, it should be safe to bring in your bags.
ALWAYS DO THESE THINGS TO PREVENT BED BUG HITCHHIKERS FROM GETTING IN YOUR BAGS AND CLOTHING!
Doing these key tips will help prevent a bed bug disaster from invading you and your family's home.
- Keep your clothes in a sealed plastic bag 100% of the time while staying in a hotel room or questionable place.
- Use Bed Bug Patrol Bed Bug Repellent around your bedding to prevent bed bug bites and infestation.
- Use Bed Bug Patrol Bug Luggage Spray to prevent and kill any possible bed bugs from riding with you home in your luggage.
- To prevent infection, dirty clothes should be put into a plastic bag and NEVER left on the floor.
- Consider putting your entire luggage in a plastic bag during your hotel stay.
- Use Bed Bug Patrol Bed Bug Traps under each bedpost to capture bed bugs living elsewhere in the room before they reach you.
Wash all your clothes in the highest hot water setting and dry them the same when you get home from a hotel stay. Dispose of the plastic bag immediately in the trash can outside your home.
