Bed Bugs - The Pest
Bad Bed Bug News: Travel Advisory
Bed bugs are bad news. In fact, the only good news about them is that Heat-N-Go can kill them quickly, efficiently, and save you money and headaches.
Here is the bad news about bed bugs:
Bed bugs can go hungry for a week or more between blood meals and they can survive for many months without a blood meal.
Bed bugs are nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night, making it difficult to spot them or spray them with chemicals or pesticides during the day.
Bed bugs are not limited to the bed or bedroom and will disperse throughout a dwelling and will crawl considerable distance to get a meal from your blood.
Bed bugs like to hitch rides on anyone and anything. In most – if not all – situations, bed bugs are transported into a building in the luggage, clothing and belongings of guests and visitors.
Clothing, shoes, purses, and luggage are all potential vehicles for bed bugs to move between rooms, buildings, or cities.
Public transportation – buses, planes, subway, trains - can transmit bed bugs readily because many people don’t know they have an infestation until it is already severe.
When getting new furniture, consider inspecting it thoroughly before moving it inside. Rental furniture or the trucks and blankets you use to move furniture can also harbor bed bugs.
Bed bugs are world travellers.
You go on vacation to get away from your troubles – not to take them along in your suitcase.
Sadly, you can’t run from bed bug troubles because bed bugs seem to be world travelers, following their “food” to hotels and vacation spots around the world.
