Bed Bug Prevention
Preventing bed bugs starts with caution around secondhand items, being alert during travel, and learning how to spot early warning signs. Whether you’re dealing with an infestation or aiming to avoid one, our expert advice can help you stay bed bug–free.
Natural methods may not eliminate bed bugs, but they can help reduce your risk of an infestation. Staying alert and combining prevention habits with professional support is your best bet for long-term protection.
Travel is a common way that bed bugs spread from one place to another. To avoid bringing them into your home, always inspect your accommodations while away and clean your luggage thoroughly once you return.
Bed bugs don’t live on pets like fleas do, but that doesn’t mean you should overlook them. Be sure to examine your pet’s bedding and nearby furniture for signs of bed bug activity.
The truth is, anyone can get bed bugs. Those who travel often, live in multi-unit buildings or purchase secondhand furniture are especially at risk. Knowing how to prevent bed bugs can greatly reduce your chances of an infestation.
