Embarrassment, shame, and confusion. Let us help you avoid those feelings with bed bug prevention tips. Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They can infest homes, hotels, and other places where people sleep. Bed bug infestations can be difficult to eliminate and cause significant stress and discomfort.
Preventing Bed Bug Infestations:
- Inspect Used Furniture: Before bringing any used furniture into your home, inspect it carefully for signs of bed bugs.
- Wash Bedding Regularly: Wash all bedding, including sheets, pillowcases, and blankets, in hot water (at least 140°F) and dry on high heat.
- Inspect Hotel Rooms: When staying in a hotel, inspect the bed, mattress, and headboard for signs of bed bugs.
Detecting a Bed Bug Infestation:
- Bites: Bed bug bites often appear as small, red, itchy bumps on the skin.
- Blood Stains: Look for small, reddish-brown stains on your sheets or mattress.
- Shed Skins: You may find small, brownish-red shed skins of bed bugs in the mattress seams or around the bed.
- Musty Odor: In severe infestations, you may notice a musty odor.
