How to Prevent Bed Bug Infestations
1. Inspect Used Furniture & Mattresses
✔ First and foremost, avoid purchasing used mattresses or upholstered furniture without a thorough inspection.
✔ Additionally, check seams, cushions, and crevices for live bed bugs or fecal stains.
2. Wash Bedding Regularly
✔ To prevent infestations, wash sheets, blankets, and pillowcases in hot water weekly.
✔ Furthermore, use a high-heat dryer setting to effectively kill any bed bugs or eggs.
3. Use Bed Bug-Proof Mattress Covers
✔ Encase mattresses and box springs in zippered bed bug-proof covers.
✔ As a result, this prevents bed bugs from hiding in mattress seams.
4. Be Cautious When Traveling
✔ Always inspect hotel rooms and Airbnb rentals before unpacking your belongings.
✔ Moreover, keep luggage off the floor and away from the bed.
✔ Finally, wash travel clothes in hot water upon returning home to eliminate any hitchhiking pests.
