They don\u2019t care if you\u2019re staying in a five-star hotel, a ski lodge, or a relative\u2019s guest room; they just need an opportunity to sneak into your belongings. They\u2019ll hide in suitcases, dirty laundry, and even your favorite travel blanket, waiting for their next meal (that\u2019s you).<\/p>\n<p>Once inside your home, bed bugs can be tough to eliminate without professional help. Taking a few preventive steps while you travel can make all the difference.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Check for Bed Bugs While Traveling<\/h2>\n<p>Before you settle into your room, take a few minutes to inspect the space. It\u2019s a small effort that can save you a considerable headache later.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use the luggage rack, not the bed. Place your suitcase on a hard surface or luggage rack until you\u2019ve checked the room.<\/li>\n<li>Inspect the mattress seams and box spring corners. Look for live bugs, shed skins, or dark brown or rust-colored stains.<\/li>\n<li>Check behind and under furniture. Bed bugs often hide behind headboards, picture frames, and lamps, as well as in nightstands or dressers.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t forget soft furniture. If you\u2019ll be using a pull-out couch or upholstered chair, check seams and folds carefully.<\/li>\n<li>Store dirty laundry in sealed plastic bags, as bed bugs are attracted to the scent of used clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re just staying for one night, consider leaving your suitcase in your vehicle and bringing in only what you need.<\/p>\n<h2>When You Return Home: Post-Travel Bed Bug Prevention<\/h2>\n<p>Even the most careful travelers can unknowingly bring a hitchhiker home. When you return from your Thanksgiving trip, take these precautions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unpack directly into the washing machine.<\/strong> Wash and dry all clothes on the highest heat setting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vacuum your suitcase thoroughly.<\/strong> Focus on seams and zippers, then empty the vacuum outside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store luggage away from bedrooms. <\/strong>Keep travel bags in a garage, basement, or storage area rather than under the bed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch for early signs.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enviropest.com\/blog\/post\/signs-of-bed-bugs\">Small itchy bites<\/a>, dark specks on bedding, or tiny live insects around the mattress are all possible indicators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>If Bed Bugs Follow You Home, Call EnviroPest<\/h2>\n<p>Even with all the proper precautions, bed bugs can sometimes slip through.
