🍂 Cooler weather doesn’t mean bed bug season is over.

As temperatures drop outside, bed bugs can remain active inside warm homes, apartments, hotels, and senior communities. Indoor heating and access to people provide the conditions they need to continue feeding, hiding, and reproducing throughout the fall and winter.

Continue watching for common warning signs:

🔍 Live bed bugs
🔍 Dark spotting on mattresses or furniture
🔍 Shed skins or tiny eggs
🔍 Unexplained bites after sleeping or resting

Bed bugs are a year-round concern. If you notice possible activity, schedule a professional inspection instead of waiting for cold weather to make the problem disappear.

🧳 Traveling for the Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend?

When you arrive at your hotel, resist the temptation to place your luggage on the bed—even for a moment. Bed bugs are skilled hitchhikers and may hide in mattresses, bed frames, headboards, upholstered furniture, and nearby cracks.

Before unpacking:

✅ Place your luggage on a hard bathroom surface or inspected luggage rack
✅ Check mattress seams and corners
✅ Look behind the headboard when possible
✅ Inspect upholstered chairs and sofas
✅ Keep clothing and personal belongings off the bed

A quick inspection can help prevent unwanted passengers from returning home with you.

😳 Think you’d feel a bed bug feeding? Not always.

Bed bugs can feed in just a few minutes and then slip right back into hiding. That’s part of what makes them so easy to miss and so hard to catch in the act.

If something feels off, don’t rely on bites alone. Look for signs around the bed and sleeping areas before the problem gets worse.

🔥 October is Fire Prevention Month—and an important reminder that DIY bed bug heat treatments can be extremely dangerous.

Never attempt to heat your home using an oven, stove, grill, propane heater, hair dryer, or several household space heaters. These methods can create serious risks, including:

⚠️ Electrical overloads
⚠️ Fires and burns
⚠️ Carbon monoxide exposure
⚠️ Damage to furniture, electronics, and other belongings

Bed bug heat treatment requires specialized equipment, controlled temperatures, proper airflow, and continuous monitoring throughout the treatment area.

Protect your home and everyone inside it. If you suspect bed bugs, contact a trained bed bug professional instead of attempting unsafe DIY heat methods.

🛏️ One Bed Bug Can Be a Bigger Warning Than You Think

Seeing just one bed bug doesn’t necessarily mean there’s only one.

Bed bugs are excellent at hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture, cracks and other small spaces. And while you’re seeing one, others may already be out of sight.

The earlier a bed bug problem is identified, the easier it may be to address before the infestation has time to grow.
