Avoid Bed Bugs While Traveling This Holiday Season

Avoid Bed Bugs While Traveling This Holiday Season

As you plan your holiday travel, the last thing you want is to bring home bed bugs as a souvenir.

Whether visiting family or staying at a vacation rental, bed bugs can be a hidden hazard year-round, not just in summer. Following a few simple precautions can help you avoid unwanted encounters with these pests.

Tips for Bed Bug Prevention During Travel:

  • Inspect hotel or rental spaces, including headboards, lights, dressers, sofas, and chairs.
  • Check mattress seams and box springs for stains or spots.
  • Avoid placing luggage on beds or furniture; use a flashlight for inspections.
  • If bed bugs are suspected, switch rooms or establishments—don’t stay in adjacent rooms.
  • On returning home, vacuum suitcases, inspect luggage, and wash all clothes on hot cycles.
