🚫 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.
