Bed Bugs: A Traveler’s Concern?
Scientists have found that bed bug population numbers reach their highest during the summer vacation months, partly because warmer temperatures speed up the development process. This means more are around to hitch a ride with unsuspecting vacationers during trips. However, accidentally picking up bed bugs isn’t just a summertime concern.
Depending on when and where you are traveling, you may encounter crowds of people on cramped flights with luggage piled together. You may also stay at hotels or condos that people from all over the world are visiting, so it isn’t an absolute coincidence that bed bug populations thrive.
Bed Bugs: Fast Facts
Bed bugs love to hide in tight, cool spaces, like inseams and crevices in mattresses and box springs. Still, if a new hiding spot is available, like a suitcase, duffel bag, or backpack, they will happily creep their way into it.
Bed bugs can go for months without a meal, lurking in their hiding spots and waiting for the prime opportunity to begin a new infestation.
They’re also wholly indiscriminate about cleanliness. So, although they thrive better in clutter due to more hiding places, they have no problem infesting 5-star hotels!
Bed bugs develop pesticide resistance, and scientists now recommend more all-natural, plant-based alternatives to combat the critters.
The bottom line is this: Are bed bugs a legitimate concern while preparing to travel (and possibly enjoying some much-needed downtime)?
