Don’t Let Bed Bugs Crash Your Summer Plans

Summer is the season for sun, fun, and travel. But there’s a tiny hitchhiker that could potentially ruin your vacation vibe - bed bugs.

These pesky critters are not just a nuisance; they can turn your dream getaway into a scratchy nightmare. Here’s how to ensure these unwelcome guests don’t join you on your summer adventures.

Before You Go Make Sure You Pack Smart!

When packing for your trip, choose a light-colored, hard-sided suitcase which makes it easier to spot any stowaway bugs. Use sealable bags and bed bug-proof liners for an extra layer of protection. Research your accommodations for past bed bug issues to avoid known problem spots.

Inspect your accommodations Upon Arrival!

Be a Detective Once you arrive at your destination, don’t let the excitement of travel distract you from a thorough inspection. Pull back the sheets, check mattress seams, especially at the corners, and use a small flashlight to look for telltale signs of bed bugs, like small stains or spots. If you find anything suspicious, request a room change immediately.

After Your Trip!

The last thing you want is to bring bed bugs back home. Upon returning, immediately launder all clothes in hot water and thoroughly vacuum your luggage. Inspect all personal items before bringing them inside to ensure no bed bugs have hitched a ride with you.

With these precautions, you can minimize the risk of bed bugs and focus on what’s important: making unforgettable summer memories. Safe travels!
