One kind of pest that most people think will never be a problem for them is a bed bug. They are a pest that come in fast and invade a home in no time at all. They are able to go unnoticed and reproduce quickly due to their small size. They are able to hide in very small cracks and crevices and will stay away while you are active and the sun is out. When you lay down to go to bed this is when they start to come out. They come out of hiding to feed on the blood of the host which happens to be the person that is sleeping in bed. The bites are very aggressive and can leave you with hundreds of bites by the time you wake up in the morning. Some people may not realize right away that they have a problem with bed bugs until it is much too late. There are several ways you can help to prevent bed bugs from getting into your home. A Five Star Termite & Pest Control lists several safety precautions that you can take to keep bed bugs away.
How Do I Check for Bed Bugs when Traveling?
If you are planning in traveling you want to be extremely careful. Bed bugs are most often caught and transferred from one person to the next during travel. This is due to the amount of people that are in close proximity and are changing out often. All it takes oit to be sitting too close to someone that has bed bugs for them to transfer to you . Another area of concern when traveling is the baggage. The bags are all stacked together touching one another and that is enough to go from one home to another. You can make sure that you have space between you and other people and if you have a major concern you can put your baggage in a sealed plastic container r bag to prevent other bags from touching yours.
Check Rooms in Hotels & Motels for Bed Bugs
When you are staying in a room that someone just a day before was staying in you want to be very cautious. Before you go in your hotel room leave your bags out of the room while you do an inspection. Pull down the sheets and blankets and look for signs of bed bugs on the mattress and other pieces of furniture. If you notice any you want to contact the management right away.
