Protect Your Home from Bed Bugs

December 29, 2017 by Heidy

If you have a problem with bed bugs in your home, you’re not the first and won’t be the last.

Bed bug problems are easily transferred from one place to another. People often bring them to wherever they are when they have traveled abroad.

In fact, international travel is the reason that many believe the problem has become worse in the United States.

Since travel is always going to occur, there is no getting rid of these bugs any time soon. You can be proactive in making sure that you do not have to deal with this problem.

How to Protect Your Home from Bed Bugs

Evaluate the hotels luggage rack

This escapes the attention of most people since they don’t typically think of bed bugs being on the luggage rack. They usually think that the bed bug only exists in or around the bed.

After evaluating the rack, we still encourage you to place a bath towel on the bottom before placing your luggage on it.

Inspect your luggage before taking it inside your home

After returning from a trip, no matter where you are coming from, keep your belongings outside and remove everything by placing your things into another bag.

Once you have them in another bag, immediately place them in the washing machine. Inspect the inside of your luggage before bringing into your home.

Inspect thrift store purchases

When you invest in thrift furniture you will never know whether or not the previous owner had bed bugs. Thoroughly examine the furniture in order to make sure that there are no signs of bed bugs.

De-clutter your home

The less clutter you have in your home, the fewer hiding places there are for bed bugs.

Have mattresses and box springs encased

If there are bed bugs in your home, you can protect your bed by enclosing the mattress and box spring. The encasement should be a good quality in order for it not to tear or rip easily.

Remember that not all bed bug infestations are in the bed but they can be transferred to your bed, if you are not careful.
