For those of you who use public transportation or travel often, it is even more important to be aware that these little critters can climb on your clothes if you get too close to an infected person or stay in a hotel with bed bugs. Tip 1: Cleaning Cleaning your home regularly is the best way to find and look for preventing the bugs. Keeping clutter to a minimum and vacuuming curtains, furniture, carpets, and mattresses regularly is important. While this won't keep bed bugs from disappearing completely, it will reduce their hiding places. This is especially important when buying any secondhand furniture. In fact, do not buy secondhand furniture without fully inspecting it. Tip 2: Cover Your Mattress and Box Spring Cover your mattresses with a hypoallergenic mattress covers. These can be found in many home goods stores and for cheaper online. There are different models and you must absolutely get yourself a high quality mattress cover. If you get a low-quality mattress cover, there is a higher chance it will rip and then it becomes useless. The covers will also prevent you from having to throw away a perfectly good mattress and/or box spring if you do have an infestation. Tip 3: Seal Cracks Seal and repair any cracks in your home. This will keep out rodents and small animals that can have the bugs already on them. Not to mention, you also reduce the number of hiding places where these little vampires can hide. Tip 4: Hotel Stays When arriving at your hotel, inspect the room for the insects before you settle in. Also, keep your suitcase off the bed. The last thing you want is for the bugs to latch on to your luggage in case the room is infested. Always be sure to inspect your clothing and personal belongings before you leave a hotel to ensure you don't take any unwanted travel companions home. It is easier to report problems, if you are still in the hotel. Tip 5: Wash In Hot Water Another helpful tip at preventing bed bugs is to wash your clothes in the hottest water and highest dryer settings if there is any suspicion of an infestation in your home. Be sure to keep any articles of clothing you are not sure of, away from furniture or any other fabrics to prevent spreading. Staying on your guard will definitely help in preventing the bugs from taking over your home. It is much better to be safe than sorry.
