Avoid bed bug infestation this summer

Have any travel plans? Well, these unwelcome travelers can very easily find their way from your hotel room to your luggage to your home if you don’t take some precautions.
Here are some tips we stumbled upon on the Web:
Survey for signs of an infestation, such as dark brown or red spots on sheets.
Lift and look for all bed bug hiding spots, including the mattress, headboard and furniture. Bed bugs are nocturnal and tend to hide near their food source—you!
Elevate your belongings on a luggage rack away from the bed and wall, where bed bugs often hide behind headboards, picture frames and electrical outlet panels.
Examine your luggage while repacking and when you return home. Remember, bed bugs are only 3/16 of an inch and can easily fit in cracks and crevices.
Professionals can treat these resilient pests, which are extremely difficult to kill and can survive extreme temperatures.

Hey check out my blog http://www.bedbugcentral.com/thecentralblog
It’s all about bed bugs and is updated pretty regularly. Happy blogging!
Thanks for the tips, I travel a lot and always worry about getting bed bugs. As of yet I have been lucky and have not seen any of the buggers.
Most hotels won’t take the time to let you look at the room before paying. I have had some bad experiences with dirty rooms. Normally to tired to put up a fight. But with the outbreak of bedbugs recently I may have to start pushing a little harder on the issue. I would hate to take some friends home with me!
