🚫 WHAT NOT TO DO AFTER TRAVELING THIS WEEKEND 🧳✈️

After a long trip, most people do this immediately:

❌ Put luggage on the bed
❌ Toss dirty clothes on the floor
❌ Store suitcases directly in closets
❌ Unpack everything into bedrooms right away

Unfortunately, that’s one of the easiest ways bed bugs can spread into a home.

Instead, when returning from travel:

✔ Inspect luggage outside or on hard surfaces
✔ Wash and dry clothing on HIGH heat
✔ Vacuum suitcase seams and pockets
✔ Keep luggage away from beds and upholstered furniture
✔ Store suitcases in garages, laundry rooms, or storage areas if possible

A few extra minutes after traveling can help prevent months of frustration later.

Safe travels from ECO Bed Bug Exterminators.

Bed bugs don’t stay where they start.

They move:
✔ From room to room
✔ Between apartments
✔ Through luggage, clothing, and furniture

By the time you see them… they’ve already spread.

That’s why early detection is everything.

Most people check into a hotel and immediately toss their luggage on the bed…

❌ Big mistake.

Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers, and your suitcase is one of their favorite ways to travel.

✔️ Keep luggage off carpet and beds
✔️ Inspect mattress seams and headboards
✔️ Use the bathroom or tub temporarily until you check the room

Luxury hotel or budget hotel—it can happen anywhere.

🛏️ You can clean your mattress…
…but that doesn’t mean you’re bed bug-free.

Most people focus on the bed.
👉 That’s only part of the problem.

Bed bugs in DC homes are commonly found in:
• Bed frames
• Baseboards
• Furniture
• Cracks & outlets

🧂 Baking soda?
Good for cleaning. Not for bed bugs.

✔️ Encasements help
✔️ Cleaning helps

But neither solves an infestation.

⚠️ If you’re noticing bites or signs every few days… don’t wait.

The sooner it’s addressed, the easier it is to control.

Bed bug activity is rising across Washington, DC—especially in rental properties.

We’re seeing:
• Activity after new tenant move-ins
• Spread between units
• Calls coming in too late

By the time you see it, it’s rarely just one unit.

👉 Early detection is the difference between control and escalation.
