Bed bugs are able to spread extremely quickly, and they reproduce at an astonishing rate. While it is difficult to prevent completely, there are a few measures you can take to reduce the chances of breeding a colony of parasites in your own home.

On the Go

When travelling, make it a habit to check beds for common signs of bed bugs. Suitcases should be stored in a cool area when not in use, such as a garage or a shed. Make sure to wash (at a high temperature) or treat your clothes and luggage before you travel and when you return from a trip.

In the Household

These small creatures will look for places to hide. Less clutter, therefore, means less chance of an infestation. Regular and thorough vacuuming is a key step in counteracting a bed bug friendly environment. Remember to empty the vacuum and dispose the waste outside your residence so you don’t just move the problem around your house.

Do I Have Bed Bugs?

Despite common belief, bed bugs are possible to spot with the naked eye. Once grown, they are around 4-5mm in size and red or brown in colour.
