Does Anything Keep Bed Bugs Away?
The unfortunate irony of bed bug infestations is that, more often than not, we inadvertently bring them inside ourselves. So in that way, every property is at risk, no matter how clean you keep your property. With that in mind, how can you prevent bed bugs?
To help prevent bed bugs, you should:
- Know the signs of an infestation
- Inspect used items and furniture pieces
- Travel smarter
- Take precautions at home
How to Keep Bed Bugs Away
There are several strategies you can take to prevent bed bugs from taking up residence in your home. This includes:
- Recognizing the signs early on, like dark fecal spots or blood stains on bedding, or itchy red bumps on exposed parts of the body.
- Inspect used items and furniture for signs of bed bugs before bringing them into the home.
- Inspect your hotel room when traveling, and unpack carefully when returning home.
