Are You Prepared? 

It's the beginning of a new month, and we are much closer to warmer temperatures (whenever those temperatures stick around).

Are you ready for the warm spring and summer heat? Bed bugs are, too. From the study of bed bug behaviors, we know that bed bug infestations happen much more frequently during the warmer months.

Why is this the case? The answer is alarmingly straightforward: bed bugs thrive in warmer weather, reproducing in larger numbers and accelerating their development. This means more bed bugs, and at a faster rate. It's a situation that demands our immediate attention and action.

They Spread Faster During Peak Travel Summer Months

Bed bug infestations spread faster during the summer due to more people traveling for vacations, typically to warmer climates. A combination of cramped quarters on transportation, high turnover in hotels and resorts, and people traveling from all over the world makes it no wonder that bed bug numbers get higher during the summer.

They Are Persistent and Tough to Get Rid Of

Because bed bugs can squeeze themselves into tight and dark spaces and not have to emerge for a few months for a meal, it makes them particularly tough to spot and get rid of. One round of treatment isn’t usually enough to ensure all bed bugs are gone, so doing a follow-up treatment for any bed bugs that have gone into hiding is always recommended. This can be a long process; even the best and most well-intended transportation and lodging companies can struggle to ensure all pests are gone before new guests arrive.

Protect Your Belongings

To prevent yourself from accidentally picking up bed bugs, thoroughly inspect your hotel room before bringing your luggage and other belongings in. Check all the furniture, including chairs, sofas, bed frames, bedside tables, bedding, mattresses, and box springs.

You can also treat your luggage with our TSA-approved travel-friendly spray or use luggage encasements to help ensure you don’t bring these unwanted bed bugs home.
