If you know someone who has dealt with a bed bug infestation or you have been through this terrible ordeal yourself, I am sure you would do anything in your power to make sure you avoid them from becoming an unwanted guest in your space. That space could be a temporary visit at a hotel, family or friends house, or a school dormitory. If you are planning to stay overnight at a residence other than your own, there are some precautions you can take to reduce the possibility of bed bug infestation. If for instance you have to stay in a hotel, the first thing you should do when you arrive is to make sure that your personal belongings are not placed on the bed, that would include your luggage and any clothes. Keep your stuff on a luggage rack or desk far away from the bed. Hang all your clothes in the closet, never in the dresser drawers. Better yet you should use Large Ziploc Bags to seal your belongings.

Next you should inspect in and all around the bed. I know you are already afraid to see the condition of the mattress knowing many people have slept on it but it is better to know than not to know. Check under the mattress in between the box spring all around the seams and crevices. Check around the bed posts and perimeter of the bed for evidence of bed bugs, dead or alive. If you have any concerns, place a Mattress Encasement
on the bed, use a Climbup Insect Interceptor Bed Bug Trap which are pucks that are placed under the legs of the bed and are filled with a substance which makes it difficult for the bugs to climb further and therefore trapping them in the puck.

All these methods should help you sleep well and prevent the bed bugs from feasting on you. To make sure these bugs don’t become hitch hikers, shake all your stuff that has been exposed while you were in your sleeping quarters and when you arrive back to your home residence wash all your items in hot water or put them in dryer on high heat for about 20 minutes.

Investing in these items provide good prevention and elimination of these horrible invaders. See the attached list of products that are effective in dealing with bed bugs.
