Avoiding Bed Bugs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This year\u2019s brutal winter has many Monmouth County families planning spring break trips to warm, sunny vacation spots to escape New Jersey\u2019s deep freeze, if only for one blissfully warm week! If you\u2019re one of many Ocean County families planning to head south for the kids\u2019 spring vacation, a word of warning. Bed bug infestations<\/a> have been recently reported in Florida and remain a threat anywhere you go.<\/p>\n

Known Seasonal Activity<\/b><\/p>\n

These apple seed-sized insects that feed on human blood are a year-round problem but seem to be more active when temperatures are warmer. Bed bugs hitchhike into hotels in guests\u2019 luggage. If you are unlucky enough to be the next guest in that room, you may be exposed to these obnoxious pests and bring a few home.<\/p>\n

Bed Bug Prevention Tips<\/b><\/p>\n

Use these tips to limit your bed bug exposure:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Put your luggage in the bathtub while you check your room.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Check the bed (sheets, mattress, springs) and room (baseboards, behind headboards and pictures, air duct openings, inside drawers) for bed bug signs: live bugs, molted exoskeletons, blood smears and black fecal dots.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep suitcases, backpacks, bags, etc. off the bed, stuffed furniture and the floor. Keep your suitcase on a luggage stand or hard table. Hang backpacks in the closet. Bring plastic trash bags to hold items that must go on the floor.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Don\u2019t unpack your things into bureau drawers. Keep them in sealed plastic bags in your suitcase.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If anyone wakes up with insect bites, report it to the hotel manager immediately and ask for a new room in a different part of the building.<\/p>\n

When you return home, watch for bites and other bed bug signs. If you suspect bed bugs, call Allison Pest Control\u2019s bed bug exterminators NJ<\/a> for a free pest inspection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
