Vacation souvenirs are supposed to be things you choose to bring home…not tiny, unwanted hitchhikers hiding in your luggage.
Bed bugs are expert travelers. They can crawl into suitcases, clothing, backpacks, and other belongings while you’re away, then make themselves comfortable once you’re home.
Before you unpack from your summer travels:
🔎 Inspect luggage, seams, and pockets
👕 Wash and dry clothing on high heat when possible
🧳 Keep luggage away from beds and upholstered furniture until it’s checked
🛏️ Look for signs around mattresses, box springs, and bed frames
🚨 Watch for live bugs, dark spots, shed skins, or unexplained bites
And remember, bed bugs don’t care how clean your home is. They can happen to anyone, anywhere…even after a luxury vacation.
So bring home the memories, the photos, and the souvenirs… just leave the bed bugs behind.
If you suspect you brought home some unwanted vacation travelers, don’t wait for the problem to spread. Give Elite Pest Control a call and let our local experts help you get it under control.
