Summertime brings for most families, the opportunity to travel on both long and short trips to destinations within the United States and abroad. When traveling, you expect to pick up souvenirs such as postcards and t-shirts, but NJ pest control experts warn that many people will bring home an unexpected souvenir this year…bed bugs!
Bed bug infestations can be lurking in hotels, airplanes, resorts, cruise ships, buses, taxi cabs, airports, subways, trains, and even at a friend or family members home. Because of the constant turn-over of travelers, any establishment or transportation vehicle can be bed bug free on one day and then infested on the next. The high incidents of bed bug infestations have prompted those in the travel industry to establish extensive eradication procedures to quickly eliminate any bed bugs that are discovered at an establishment.
Despite the best efforts of the travel industry, because of their sneaky behavior, and their ability to hitchhike with great ease, it is very easy for travelers to encounter bed bugs. As such, many pest control experts expect to see a massive increase in bed bug infestation reports as the summer months tick by. It’s extremely important for travelers to be on high alert when traveling to any location. Looking for bed bugs in not difficult and will not take much time. Bed bug infestations are costly, time consuming, and frustrating creatures to eradicate once they make your home their home, so it’s important to avoid them whenever possible!
