BED BUG TRAVEL GUIDE
There’s nothing worse than returning from a relaxing vacation only to discover that you’ve brought bed bugs home with you. Even worse is encountering them while you’re on vacation, turning what was supposed to be a stress-free getaway into a nightmare.
Be aware of your environment
To avoid this, use hard-sided luggage for added protection. When entering taxis, planes, or trains, inspect your surroundings before settling in. If you suspect any issues, use our travel-sized bed bug spray immediately.
Upon arrival at your hotel or rental, leave your luggage outside the room. Take a few minutes to inspect your surroundings carefully. Check the mattress seams, around the headboard, and any upholstered furniture for signs of bed bugs. Look for small blood spots, dark stains, shed exoskeletons, or live insects.
Once you’ve confirmed there are no bed bugs present, you can bring your luggage inside. Keep it on a rack or in the bathroom and avoid unpacking until you’re sure the room is clean. It’s important to inspect daily, especially after returning to your room or following room service. If you find any bed bugs or bed bug eggs, use our spray right away,
Request a different room or alternative accommodations immediately and notify the hotel management or landlord so they can address the issue.
Returning Home
When coming home, avoid bringing your luggage inside right away. Use our 3 oz travel-sized bed bug spray to thoroughly treat your luggage, shoes, and any other items. This essential step helps ensure that no bed bugs make it into your home. Protect your living space and maintain a bug-free environment with our easy-to-use, non-toxic spray.
When returning home, don't bring your luggage in with you. Empty out clothing into sealed plastic bags, spray the luggage thoroughly and vacuum. Make sure to spray your shoes as well. Keep all clothing inside the seal bags until you wash them. Use our laundry additive in each cycle.
