Bed Bug Travel Protection

Introduction

Bed bugs are an increasing problem in travel, with infestations popping up in hotels and rental properties all over the world. The good news: If you know how to prepare for bed bugs, you can protect yourself from them. Here’s what every traveler needs to know about preventing a nasty bed bug incident:

1. Choose Your Lodging Wisely

• Choose Your Lodging Wisely

The first step in preventing bed bug travel is to choose a hotel that has been inspected and certified as bed bug free, avoiding hotels that are located in areas with a high bed bug population. Check the hotel’s website for information on bed bug prevention and control, such as whether they use heat treatment or other methods of extermination to deal with any potential infestations. It’s also important to ask about their policy regarding refunds should an infestation occur during your stay.

2. Be Aware of Bed Bug Behavior

• Bed bugs are nocturnal and will generally try to hide during the day.
• Bed bugs are attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide (the same reason we like a nice, warm shower right before bedtime).
• Bed bugs are attracted by the scent of human blood, so watch out for that post-workout glow!
• In addition to being attracted by the scent of human blood, bed bugs will also follow trails from places that have been in contact with human blood (or their skin) such as furniture or clothing items (like shoes).

3. Outsmart the Bugs by Being Observant

• Look for signs of bed bug activity.
• Observe your surroundings and look for any signs that a bed bug infestation may be present. Bed bugs can be difficult to spot as they try to hide in cracks and crevices, behind wall outlets, electrical switch plates and other small spaces. Because of this it’s important to observe your surroundings carefully by opening drawers or cabinets and looking into them as well as behind picture frames or bookshelves. If you notice any small blood spots on sheets or pillowcases it could be a sign that there are already some live bugs in the area but don’t panic just yet! Sometimes these spots are not caused by bedbugs at all but rather from tiny mites called “chiggers” which feed off human skin leaving these marks behind once they have been removed from their hosts (which is why you may see similar spots around ankles after being outside). Also keep an eye out for fecal matter left behind – often times fecal matter will appear dark brown in color with an oval shape resembling an apple seed (or even smaller depending on how many times its been crushed). You should also watch out for bites on skin areas like arms, legs & neck which might resemble mosquito bites if one is unsure whether they were caused by other insects such as fleas instead of bedbugs themselves!

4. Carry a Good Travel Kit with You

• A good travel kit should include a spray, a vacuum and a bed bug trap.
• Spray the luggage you are taking with you with Bed Bug Killer Spray before you leave home. This will kill any bed bugs that happen to be on your luggage and prevent them from hitchhiking back into your home after your trip.
• Vacuum all of your clothes before packing them in bags or suitcases because bed bug larvae may be hiding in the folds of clothing. If you don’t have time to vacuum every item individually, then place all of your clothes in plastic bags so that they cannot get out again after vacuuming—this will also prevent any eggs from hatching inside the bag during transport!
• Use a Bedbug Trap as an extra precautionary measure against infestations at home (or wherever else you think it might be). The trap has two parts: one side is treated with pheromones (a chemical scent released by female bedbugs), while another side contains glue coated strips which catch male insects if they attempt mating with females trapped inside their number-one spot—which happens when males fly around looking for mates!

5. Thoroughly Inspect Mattress and Box Spring for Bugs

The next step is to thoroughly inspect your mattress and box spring for bed bugs.

To do this, you will need to use a flashlight.

Bed bugs can be found in the seams of your mattress and box spring, as well as in the cracks of your box spring.

6. Check All Furniture and Curtains as Well

As you are checking for bed bugs, it’s important to remember that they can hide in the smallest of places. You should check all furniture and curtains for signs of infestation, especially if they are second-hand. Bed bugs tend to be found in the seams of sofas and chairs, but they can also be found in electronics and other small appliances that are kept inside cupboards or drawers.

If you find any suspicious marks on your furniture or curtains, take a picture of them and send it to us at [email protected] We will then be able to identify whether or not these marks represent signs of bed bug activity.

7. Check Anywhere You May Have Left Things Unattended

Check under the furniture.

Look for bed bugs in the cracks of the bed frame and headboard, as well as beneath it. Check under your mattress, too – they can be hiding there. If you have a box spring, check it carefully as well. Bed bugs can be difficult to spot because they are so small (about one-fifth of an inch). They often reside in tiny crevices that you wouldn’t normally think to look inside; but if you do see any signs of infestation or live insects crawling around on your mattress or box spring, immediately bag them up in garbage bags and dispose them outside your home for at least 72 hours before returning them indoors again once they have been frozen for several days.

Another place where bed bug eggs may go unnoticed is between layers of fabric—such as pillows or comforters—and inside cracks made by folding sheets over themselves many times throughout their use cycle (when this happens repeatedly over time). You should examine all areas where these fabrics are present carefully in order not overlook any potential signs of infestation; if needed during this process then always use gloves while handling any items which could potentially be contaminated with live eggs!

8. Unpack Immediately Upon Arrival

Unpack immediately upon arrival. Don’t wait until morning to unpack your clothes, don’t wait until you’re tired, and don’t wait until you’re hungry or ready to relax or get ready for bed. Unpack as soon as possible so that anything that might have been transported in your bag doesn’t have time to settle in and hatch its eggs.

9. Store Clothes in Luggage, Away from Bed Bugs

• Don’t leave clothes on the floor, in a pile on the bed, or outside the laundry hamper. Bed bugs can travel from room to room in your home through clothing, luggage and other personal belongings.
• Wash all of your clothes at least every two weeks in hot water (130°F). Always close zippers and collars before washing; if you do not have a heated dryer, hang clothes out to dry as soon as possible. If you must use a commercial dry cleaner instead of hanging them out to dry yourself, ask them to heat-treat their machines so that they remain at 130°F throughout their cleaning process (this should be done regularly anyway).

10. Launder Your Clothes Immediately When Back Home

When you return home, wash all clothes in hot water and dry them on the highest setting. This will kill any bed bugs that may be hiding in your clothing.

Once you’re back home, be sure to wash all of your clothes in hot water and use a hot dryer on high setting for 20 minutes if possible.

Bed bugs are nasty little critters, but you can beat them with the right travel kit and good awareness

Bed bugs are nasty little critters, but you can beat them with the right travel kit and good awareness. Bed bugs feed on human blood and can be found in hotels, apartment buildings, cruise ships, airplanes and even movie theatres. They are especially prevalent in areas of the world where poverty is high—a fact that makes them harder to eradicate once they have made their way into your home or hotel room.

Bed bug bites tend to be small red welts that can itch for hours or days after an infestation has been discovered and exterminated. Usually these bites occur around the ankles or waistline of the victim and may result in a skin rash if left untreated for too long (think poison ivy). If you suspect you have bed bugs on your travels it’s best to keep calm and reach out for help from an expert!
