Do Bed Bugs Always Travel With You?

Bedbugs are a major problem for many travelers, and they are a nightmare for the hotel industry. I recently heard about a person who had to throw all her personal belongings out in the hotel room because of bedbugs. The person has since started a legal battle against the hotel and is still waiting for reimbursement for her items.

Bedbugs are tiny creatures that can’t fly, but can still travel very quickly. They can crawl three to four feet per minute on most surfaces. Their speed is enough to make them able to move from one room to another. They can also move between floors and can quickly tuck themselves into new hiding spots.

If you have an infestation, it’s important to take action as soon as possible. Professional pest management companies can provide an on-site inspection to determine the extent of the infestation and provide a customized treatment plan. This means that they can target their efforts by treating the infestation early, before it becomes severe.

The best way to protect your home from these pests is to keep the bedroom as clean as possible. Avoid buying second-hand furniture and make sure it has been cleaned thoroughly and inspected for signs of bedbug infestation. You should also use mattress covers to protect your furniture from bugs. Also, when you’re traveling, you’ll want to inspect your luggage and clothes before you leave home. If you’re staying in a hotel, you should use a bag stand to keep your luggage from falling onto the floor. In addition, don’t leave your clothes or suitcase in the dryer.
