Common Places Youll Find Bed Bugs And What You Can Do To Treat Them

Theyre creepy, theyre crawly, and theyre causing all types of problems for homeowners

. In fact, if youre not careful, they could enter your home and become a nuisance for you too!

Were talking about bed bugs, and theyre already plaguing everything from hotels and college dorm rooms to hospitals and nursing homes nationwide. Even five star hotels like the Ritz Carlton have been affected by bed bugs, which continue to create one itchy health hazard after another.

But how do you find out if you have them and what steps can you do to prevent them from becoming for you and your home?

For starters, bed bugs arent necessarily an indication of bad hygiene or a dirty home. They can sneak into any home without the owner even really knowing it. They can hitch a ride on suitcases or old furniture rather easily, which is why when you visit a hotel, it is always recommended that you place your suitcase up on a chair and not on the floor, which is the easiest way bed bugs can find a way back to your home.

While youre visiting hotels, its also recommended not to use your comforter, as those can be a breeding ground for bed bugs. If you wake up at your hotel with patches of bite marks on your legs, its a surefire sign your hotel has an infestation problem on their hands. Get your money back and get the heck out, finding yourself a new place to stay.

If youre buying used or old furniture, be very very cautious about bringing it into your home without a thorough inspection. Get a magnifying class if you have to, and search for the tiny little critters that can sometimes be visible to the naked eye.

If you have reservations about bringing that cool retro couch into your house, its better to be on the safe side, as bite marks all over your legs are anything but trendy.

Even if you opt to go for a new couch or bed frame, you still must check it for these bugs because they too can have it. In fact, Hollister, the trendy teen department store in New York, had a bed bug problem that originated in its bedding section.

Be sure to check book cases and shelving. Bed bugs got their name and reputation from beds, but that doesnt mean they dont look for homes in wood and other materials. In fact, these crevices are often the last place people look.
