How to Not Bring Bed Bugs Home

It's sometimes impossible to keep bed bugs from popping up, but there are some ways you can prevent their presence. Here’s how you can make sure the bed bugs don't bite:

  • Check hotel rooms when you travel. Before you unpack, lift up the mattress, look behind the headboard. Check the seams of the mattress. If you see anything, let someone know so you can get a different room.
  • Wash your clothes hot after trips. When you get home, throw anything you can in the wash on the hottest setting you can. That kills any bugs or eggs that might have hitched a ride.
  • Look at old furniture real good. If you’re buying used furniture, especially mattresses or couches, check it over real close. Bed bugs love to hide in those things.
  • Don't have a lot of junk around. Clutter gives bed bugs more places to hide. Keep your place as tidy as possible, especially around your bed.
  • Check your beds and chairs often. Every so often, take a look at your mattress, box spring, and chairs. Look for those dark spots, red stains, or shed skins. Just a quick check can save you a lot of trouble.
