Bed bugs move from place to place by hitchhiking their way on people’s clothing or in their belongings. Through the ease of travel and international shipments, bed bug populations have boomed.
The best way to avoid bed bugs is to always keep bags, coats, luggage, and other personal belongings off the ground while in public places and away from other people's belongings. It is also essential to inspect a hotel room or any other type of vacation rental before bringing your luggage inside. Do not purchase used furniture, mattresses or box springs for use in your home. To limit hiding spots, place a protective cover that encases mattresses and box springs, and keep your property organized and free of clutter.
