Bed Bug Travel Kits

If you travel a lot, there’s a good chance you might run into one of the worst pests you can find: Bed Bugs. There are some places such as New York City where the bed bug problem has reached an epidemic level, with thousands of new infestations every year. In fact, these bugs are most likely to be a problem in hotels and other businesses where there is a high turnover of guests, each one a potential harbor for the bugs. They then will take any opportunity presented to them to attach themselves either to your clothing or your luggage, after which it will be incredibly easy for them to create a new nest in your bedroom once you get home.

Often, this whole thing can go unnoticed until you wake up with bites one morning and realize you have the bugs sharing your bed with you. At Do My Own Pest Control we have all the products you will need to keep yourself safe from these bugs while you’re travelling.

Some Tips On How To Avoid Bed Bugs While On The Road

•    Check Your Surroundings

This is a pretty simple and common sense step; however, it’s important to know what you’re looking for before inspecting a hotel room. The best indication that a bed might need some bed bug removal treatment is the presence of the bugs’ waste products around the mattress. These are often in the form of dark red or light brown spots that give away the location of their nests. Should you find any indication that a room has bed bugs, you should alert the hotel management and ask to be relocated to a new bug-free room.

•    Check Reviews Of Hotels Before Booking

A quick and easy way to avoid bed bugs while travelling is to search the web for hotels where previous guests have experienced problems with these insects. Should you find any mention of bed bugs on a review site it is probably best to not book with a hotel unless you are 100% sure that they have taken care of the problem.
