Avoid Bringing Bed Bugs Home To Minneapolis

by | Jul 5, 2013 | Pest Control

For an entire generation of people in the United states, the phrase “don’t let the bed bugs bite” was just a cute thing to say rather than a reference to a real problem. These tiny creatures are making a comeback, however, and are spreading across the country with the help of travelers who pick them up in hotels and on visits to the homes of friends and family. If you are going to be traveling and you want to keep your own home as free of pests as you can, there are things you can do to avoid bringing home Bed Bugs Minneapolis.

Whether you are in a hotel or a home, if these creatures are present they are likely to be around the bed. You should pull back the sheets of the bed and look around the seams. These make excellent hiding places and will often show signs of dark spotting from excrement if there is or has been an infestation. While you are staying somewhere unknown, you should take care to keep your luggage on something like a table or a counter rather than laying it on the floor. These pests are not so intelligent that they will deliberately try to hitch a ride in your suitcase, so long as you leave it somewhere they will not wander into accidentally you should be safe.

In spite of this, it is still a good idea to check through your belongings to make sure you didn’t bring home any Bed Bugs Minneapolis after your trip. Look through your clothing and luggage, particularly focusing around the seams as you did with the mattress. Vacuum your suitcases before you put them away, and you can use a hand steamer on them as an extra precaution. Put all of the clothes that you took on your trip directly into the wash.

While these precautions will largely prevent you from ending up with your own infestation of Bed Bugs Minneapolis, it’s impossible to completely guarantee that nothing will come home with you unless you intend to actually throw away everything that you took on your trip. If you see any signs of an infestation in your own home, Be There Pest Control will be happy to come and help assess your situation and to come up with a plan to get rid of them.
