Preventing bed bugs is easier than many people think. It starts with being mindful of travel, overnight stays, and bringing items into your home. Because bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers, it’s important to know the risks and how to minimize them.
One of the biggest causes of infestations is travel. Hotels, vacation homes, and hostels have frequent changes of guests, allowing bed bugs to spread quickly. Therefore, always check the mattress, bed frame, and the corners of the headboard upon arrival. Preferably store your suitcase above the floor and close it when not in use. This reduces the chance of bed bugs traveling home.
Second-hand furniture also poses a risk. Thoroughly inspect sofas, chairs, mattresses, and bed frames before bringing them inside. Look for small black dots, empty skin, or bloodstains. If in doubt, it’s best to avoid risks or have an inspection carried out.
When returning home after a trip, it’s wise to wash or dry your clothes immediately at a high temperature. Bed bugs don’t tolerate heat well, so you can stop a potential infestation before it develops. Also, vacuum regularly around the bed and in cracks where bed bugs like to hide.
In apartments and hotels, spread can occur more quickly due to shared walls and pipes. A small infestation in an adjacent apartment can therefore spread unnoticed. Regular inspections or preventative checks can prevent many problems and provide quick answers.
Prevention is always better than cure. By being alert to the signs and taking the right precautions, you significantly reduce the risk of a bed bug infestation. If you have any doubts or see signs of bed bugs, our specialists are ready to carefully inspect everything and intervene promptly.
