Hidden Bed Bugs Coming Home to Utah In Your Luggage

Don't Bring Bed Bugs Home to Utah from Your Vacation 

Many big cities in the eastern part of the United States have become infested with bed bugs. Motels and resorts have struggled to get rid of these pesky bugs that invade drawers and mattresses. They also hide in furniture and the cracks in walls. 

Bed bugs can hitch a ride in your luggage or even purses and backpacks when left in an infested motel room. This can be an uncomfortable discovery when staying with family or friends. You do not want these little biters hitching a ride home with you. 

How to Guard Against Bed Bugs 

Inspect the place you're staying for any signs of bed bugs. They are small, about the size of an apple seed, and are hard to spot. If you see small blood spots on the mattresses, this can be a sign. 

Keep your luggage and belongings off the floor and away from the wall or furniture. If you suspect a problem, wash your clothes and dry them on high heat when you get home. This video demonstrates how to check a place for bed bugs.
