If you are going to be traveling in the next couple of months and staying in hotels, etc. you may want to be aware of the risk of bed bugs. Why is that such a problem? Because if you travel to a place that has a problem with bed bugs, they may just end up traveling home with you. Let’s look at this topic a little closer.
To start with, you need to know how to detect the presence of bed bugs when traveling. It is unlikely that you will see a bed bug as they are extremely small, but you could observe signs of their presence. Some of those signs are small stains on the mattress (don’t forget to check the edges of the mattress) and bed sheets – this is caused by the bed bug’s fecal matter and body parts. There may also be a musty type of smell in the room, and you may experience itchy bumps on your skin.
Despite the name, bed bugs are not just found in beds, they could also be hiding in other soft furnishings, picture frames, books, and clothing, to name just a few.
From this description, it’s clear that bed bugs are not something you want to bring home with you. However, if you do suspect that there are bed bugs in your home, don’t panic. The best action to take is to consult with a pest control specialist who has a lot of experience in getting rid of these unpleasant little bugs.
