Since bed bugs are quite mobile and can crawl from one room to another, infestation easily grows which makes bed bug control difficult. Bed bugs spread are more common to hotels, apartment complexes and shelters and once introduced, they can readily spread from one infested unit to another.
Caution must be exercised when buying used furniture or clothing. Consider heat treating the item to be sure it doesn’t harbor bed bugs or their eggs.
Before bringing them into your home or building, they should at least be inspected thoroughly for any sign of bed bug infestation. On the other hand, a regular
home inspection is also recommended. While traveling, it is important to examine the bed and the bed frame which includes along the mattress folds, behind and along the bed frame and the headboard. If you locate signs of bugs, notify the hotel’s management immediately and request another room. Be sure to ensure that your new room is not adjacent (including below or above) to the room that you found the infestation in.
