Eagle Pest Control brings your pest concern into focus with property-specific enquiries, practical preparation guidance and an emphasis on prevention.
Bed bugs usually enter a property by being carried on clothing or inside furniture. The most common places for bedbug infestations are hotels, cinemas, lodges, auditoriums, and overnight busses. Bedbugs often get introduced into homes with second hand furniture. Bedbugs or their eggs get into clothing or suitcases and are then transported home. If there are any signs of bedbugs when staying at a hotel, particularly being bitten when sleeping or seeing blood spots on sheets, take great care in bringing your personal belongings home.
Eagle Pest Control starts with the evidence at your property. Bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs. Check the sleeping area and nearby furniture. Discuss any access limits and whether a closer inspection is needed.
There are some steps you can take to ensure bed bugs don’t follow you home, especially if you are a frequent traveller.
Head straight for the bathroom - Before you check out your hotel room's minibar or oceanfront view, give it a thorough bed bug inspection - and until you've done that, stash your luggage in the loo.
Check your bed first before you enjoy the view - Here's how to check for a bed bug infestation: Pull back the linens, and check all the way around and under the mattress and behind the headboard. Look for blood stains or small black dots that look like mold or ground pepper, keep a look out for these signs.
Keep luggage off the ground and wrap suitcases in plastic - Do not leave suitcases and bags on the floor - or on a second spare bed. Bed bugs can travel (from) room to room. For the duration of your trip, keep your bags on the desktop, on top of the dresser, or on a luggage rack in the room. (Don't leave clothing lying out, either!) For extra protection, keep your suitcase encased in plastic during your trip.
If you are worried you have brought bed bugs back home after your travels, there are a few things you can do to reduce them from spreading to your home:
Leave your luggage in your garage or in the bathroom - Bed bugs don’t like the tiles or concrete and if they are present you will see them easier than on carpet!
Remove clothes immediately once you reach home and wash/ dry clothes at the highest possible temperatures.
Put your suitcase/ luggage in the sun - away from the house for a couple of days, to help eradicate any bed bugs.
Rest should feel restful. If you suspect bed bugs, Eagle Pest Control helps you organise the evidence, prepare the room and discuss a focused response without moving the problem from one space to another.
Treatment by a professional pest controller is always the best solution to get rid of bed bugs.
With the number of guests moving in and out of your hotel or dorm rooms, it is impossible to completely deter bed bugs. However, there are ways you can avoid an infestation taking hold with early detection:
Train your staff on how to identify common signs of bed bugs.
Ensure thorough checking for bed bugs is written into your room cleaning processes.
Have a procedure in place for handling bed bug complaints.
