Bed Bug Prevention Tips
• While traveling, make sure to inspect hotel rooms thoroughly. Bring a good flashlight and inspect every part of the room, including behind headboards, dressers, and other furniture items.
• Keep you baggage off the ground. If possible, store your suitcase up on a table or even in the bathroom area. Bed bugs are more likely to populate in dark areas with carpet or other kinds of soft material. Hotel bathrooms usually lack these kinds of fabric and are generally safer places to store your clothes and other belongings.
• Wrap your belongings. Before returning home from a trip, place all of your belongings in some kind of plastic bag, or container and immediately wash them when you get home. Just like how a good bed bug mattress cover will physically keep bed bugs from getting in, a good plastic bag or container will prevent bed bugs from getting out of your items before they can be disposed of.
