How to protect your home from bed bugs after travel

Bed bugs travel in bags and clothes, and cleanliness is not the cause:

• Check the mattress seams and headboard when you enter the room.
• Keep luggage off the bed, on a rack or in the bathroom.
• Wash clothes on a hot cycle as soon as you return.
• Inspect and shake bags before bringing them into the bedroom.

If bites or stains appear on sheets, contact us for an inspection before it spreads.

When to call a professional

• The problem returns after cleaning
• You see the pest by day or in large numbers
• There are children, allergies or pets at home
