Don’t Wait for the Bed Bugs to Multiply in your Home
One thing that any person would want to bring home from a trip would be the presence of bed bugs. While internal hygiene and cleaning will help keep out these dreaded bugs in our homes, you just have to consider that being careful includes the places where you come from.
Things such as your suitcases, shoes and clothes are sitting ducks to which bed bugs use as their way of commuting and invading clean homes. No one can tell about their presence although some itching and eagle-eyed observations can really do the trick.
To avoid them you just have to be careful. Once you get home after a trip, try to change your clothes and put your baggage somewhere far from beds or even sofas.
First, know that high-end hotels are not immune to bed bugs. Steritech, a pest control company, studied 700 hotels and 24 percent of them had bed bug activity.
Defend what you can control. At home, encase your mattress in plastic and make sure the zipper teeth are small and tight. Tests have shown that beg bugs can’t get through the plastic or zipper.
“Most people keep suitcases under their beds. Experts say this is the worst place to store luggage. You may be inviting bedbugs to bed with you,” NBC 5’s Meredith Land reported.
Experts also added that after a trip, seal your luggage in garbage bags and unpack outside. Additionally, keep hard goods, such as cosmetics and souvenirs, in ziplock bags.
