\n

The spread of bed bugs is a real problem for many parts of the country, as well as the world.\u00a0 Depending on where you travel, you could very easily bring home an infestation of bed bugs that require nothing short of an exterminator to rid your dreams of these little nightmares.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

To avoid being victims of these little hitchhikers, follow these basic tips:<\/p>\n

Place suitcases in bathroom upon arrival<\/strong>
\nAs soon as you rest your luggage on the floor of an infested hotel, you\u2019re already opening up your home to these little buggers.\u00a0 Instead, put all luggage in the bathroom before you get the chance to inspect the beds and furniture.<\/p>\n

Be thorough with inspections<\/strong>
\nTake off the sheets, get a bright light and case the mattress for bed bugs.\u00a0 After that, look closely behind the headboard, the cracks and crevices of any furniture.\u00a0 You\u2019ll know it when you\u2019ve found evidence of bed bugs because they leave little black crumbs of their feces behind.\u00a0 The bed bugs themselves will be slightly smaller than an apple seed.<\/p>\n

Other popular hiding spots include loose wall electrical outlets, picture frames, and under lamps and alarm clocks.\u00a0 They generally don\u2019t stray far from the bed itself so you can still be thorough while not taking longer than about ten minutes to feel safe.<\/p>\n

Always store luggage on dressers<\/strong>
\nEven if the room checks out fine from your initial inspection there is always a chance that there are some nomad bed bugs roaming around the hotel.\u00a0 The only sure way to avoid them is to keep your luggage stored in a high place.<\/p>\n

For clothes that you\u2019ve already worn, you can separate those from your clean ones by utilizing plastic bags or ziplocs.\u00a0 This way you can still stay fresh while also staying safe from bed bugs.<\/p>\n

An added benefit to doing this is that if you ever happened to get a bed bug that latched on your clothes for a free ride, you can deliver them straight to your washing machine for a high heat water wash and high heat dryer cycle sending them to a quick death.<\/p>\n
