    Bed Bug Prevention Tips for Albany, New York Residents

    No matter how careful you are when you travel, it’s difficult to identify and avoid bed bugs. Whether you're planning a trip or hosting guests, the last thing you want to deal with is a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are the most challenging pest to recognize and treat, according to professionals. 


    Understanding the Bed Bug Threat

    Bed bugs are ready travelers who can hitchhike from place to place on clothing, shoes, coats, luggage, and other personal items. It is possible to pick them up in public places such as hotels, cabs, buses, trains, transportation stations, theaters, libraries, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. You can also pick them up in private homes that you are visiting. One thing is sure: you do not want bed bugs infesting your home. If they do, it’s essential to act immediately to get rid of them and prevent them from returning.


    Travel Tips to Avoid Bed Bugs

    When you travel, be vigilant about checking for bed bugs in public places that you are visiting. Pack all of your clothing and belongings in large sealable bags, and keep your luggage, clothing, and personal belongings off of the floor whenever possible. Do not place anything inside the drawers or nightstands when staying overnight in hotels or motels. When you return home, be sure to check all of your items and clean them thoroughly, washing at high-heat temperatures as soon as possible.


    Hosting Guests: Preventing Bed Bug Infestations

    When hosting visitors, hang all of your guests' coats in an empty closet by the door. Offer a rack or table for overnight guests to place their luggage on. As soon as possible, carefully inspect rooms that guests have slept in, clean the room thoroughly, wash bedding in hot water, and pay close attention to the seams and edges of mattresses and other furniture.
