Getting together for the holidays is so much fun… unless you’ve returned home only to find you have bed bugs.
Bed bugs are crafty hitchhikers. You can pick them up in hotel rooms, by riding public transit or merely sitting on infested furniture. Guests also may bring them into your home. It can take several weeks to notice the signs of a bed bug infestation. A common clue: the itchy red welts left on your skin after the bugs take a bite.
It’s only natural to worry about bed bugs. They typically emerge at night to suck your blood while you think you’re cozy and safe asleep in your bed. This can disturb your rest and causes some people severe emotional and psychological distress, even though the pests do not transmit illness.
The bed bug experts at Pest HQ suggest the following actions to naturally eliminate and prevent bed bugs:
- If you are worried about bed bugs, immediately conduct a thorough inspection of your luggage, purse, backpack, bedrooms and lounging areas, including the couch. Do this before the bugs can multiply. Fewer bed bugs are easier to eliminate.
- Follow step-by-step instructions to identify and eliminate bed bugs, as well as to prevent future bed bug infestations.
- Use only professional-grade control products recommended by Pest HQ – not unsafe internet remedies. Proven products include traps/monitors, mattress encasements, and nature-based dust and sprays. Pest HQ has discounted product bundles that ship fast or can be picked up in store.
