Bed bugs can happen to anyone, but a few simple steps can help reduce the risk of bringing them home:
Inspect before you unpack: Check hotel mattresses, bed frames and headboards when travelling.
Know the signs: Look for small reddish-brown bugs, tiny dark spots on bedding and shed skins around mattress seams and bed frames.
Be travel smart: Keep luggage off beds and upholstered furniture and inspect your bags before bringing them home.
Act quickly: If you suspect bed bugs, wash and dry suitable bedding and clothing on the hottest settings the fabric allows. Heat can help kill bed bugs at different life stages.
Call the professionals: Bed bugs can be difficult to eliminate completely. Professional pest control can help identify the problem and recommend an effective treatment plan.
