Bed bugs can be a nuisance in Southern California homes and apartments. Follow these tips to help prevent bites from these pests.
Inspect your living space for signs of bed bugs like:

Check mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and upholstered furniture carefully.
Wash all bedding weekly in hot water and dry on the highest heat setting to kill bed bugs and eggs.
Vacuum carpets, furniture, and crevices around baseboards frequently to remove bed bugs. Dispose of the vacuum bag right away.
Use bed bug mattress and pillow encasements as a barrier between you and bed bugs. Ensure zippers are secure.
Limit clutter like stacks of clothes or paper which provide hiding spots for bed bugs.
