Travel Tips

• Always inspect any area you feel would harbor bed bugs.
• In hotel rooms always inspect the bed.
• Pull down the covers and check the mattress and box spring.
• Check the dressers and closet.
• Never put your clothing in the dressers in the room.
• Leave your clothes in your suitcase and even put your suitcase in the tub, or on the folding luggage rack.

When You Get Home

Upon your return from your trip put your clothing in the wash as soon as you arrive, and leave your luggage in the garage or outside the home.
