Preventing bed bugs: Essential steps at home and travel caution

Bed bugs are tiny pests that can wreak havoc on your peace of mind and comfort. While they don’t carry diseases, their bites can cause itching, irritation, and even allergic reactions in some individuals. Preventing a bed bug infestation requires diligence both at home and when traveling. 

By taking proactive measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of encountering these unwelcome guests.

Prevention Overview

At home prevention

  1. Regular cleaning and decluttering
    • Keep your home tidy and clutter-free to minimize hiding spots for bed bugs.
    • Vacuum floors, carpets, and upholstery regularly, paying attention to seams, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas.
    • Dispose of clutter such as old magazines, newspapers, and cardboard boxes, which can provide hiding places for bed bugs.
  1. Encase mattresses and box springs
    • Use mattress and box spring encasements designed to prevent bed bugs from entering or escaping.
    • Ensure encasements are made of durable, tightly woven fabric and cover all sides of the mattress and box spring.
  1. Inspect second-hand furniture and clothing
    • Thoroughly inspect any second-hand furniture or clothing for signs of bed bugs before bringing them into your home.
    • Pay close attention to seams, folds, and crevices where bed bugs may hide.
  1. Minimize clutter around beds
    • Avoid storing items such as clothing, bags, or shoes near beds, as bed bugs may hitchhike on these items and infest your sleeping area.
  1. Be cautious with laundry
    • When returning from a trip, wash and dry all clothing, bedding, and other fabric items on the highest heat setting to kill any potential bed bugs or eggs.
  1. Seal cracks and crevices
    • Seal any cracks or gaps in walls, baseboards, and furniture to prevent bed bugs from entering your home.
  1. Monitor signs of infestation
    • Regularly inspect bedding, furniture, and walls for signs of bed bugs, such as small reddish-brown stains (fecal spots), shed skins, or actual bugs.

Travel caution

Inspect hotel rooms
  • Before settling into a hotel room, perform a thorough inspection of the bedding, mattress seams, upholstered furniture, and behind picture frames for signs of bed bugs.
  • Consider using a flashlight and a magnifying glass to aid in your inspection.
Use luggage racks
  • Avoid placing luggage directly on the bed or floor of a hotel room. Instead, use luggage racks or place luggage in the bathtub, which is less likely to harbor bed bugs.
Keep luggage sealed
  • Store clothing and belongings in sealed plastic bags or luggage organizers to prevent bed bugs from infiltrating your belongings.
Inspect souvenirs and clothing
  • Before bringing souvenirs or new clothing items into your luggage, inspect them carefully for signs of bed bugs.
Be cautious with public transportation
  • Bed bugs can also hitchhike on public transportation, so be mindful of your surroundings when using buses, trains, or taxis.
  • Avoid placing bags or clothing on the seats and keep personal belongings close to you.
Inspect your belongings upon return
  • Upon returning home from a trip, carefully inspect your luggage, clothing, and other belongings for any signs of bed bugs before bringing them into your living space.
Quarantine items if necessary
  • If you suspect that any of your belongings may have been exposed to bed bugs during your travels, consider quarantining them in sealed plastic bags until you can thoroughly inspect and clean them.
