The holiday season is a time for joy, travel, and reconnecting with loved ones, but it also brings hidden risks: bed bugs. These tiny pests can hitch a ride on your luggage, clothing, or personal belongings, turning your holiday memories into a nightmare. Whether you're traveling to visit family, staying in a hotel, or hosting guests at home, being proactive is key to ensuring your holidays remain bed bug-free. With the right tips and trusted products from Premo Guard, you can enjoy peace of mind during the busiest travel season of the year.
Understand the Risks of Holiday Travel
The holidays are prime time for bed bugs to spread. Increased travel means more opportunities for these pests to make their way into your life. High-turnover accommodations like hotels, motels, and Airbnbs are common hotspots for bed bugs. Even visiting a relative's home isn't always safe, as they might unknowingly harbor these pests. Public spaces like buses, trains, and airports are also risky, with bed bugs hiding in seats, carpets, and crevices.
Imagine returning home after a joyful trip only to discover that bed bugs have come back with you. Fortunately, by taking proactive measures, you can greatly reduce the risk of bringing these unwelcome guests into your home.
Be Proactive Before You Leave
Preparation is the first step in preventing bed bugs. Start with your luggage. Hard-shell suitcases are less appealing to bed bugs than fabric ones. Adding a protective luggage liner can provide an extra layer of defense. Before you even pack, consider spraying your luggage with Premo Guard’s TSA-approved 3 oz Bed Bug and Mite Spray. This travel-friendly product offers quick and natural protection without the use of harsh chemicals.
Plan to pack all essentials, including your bed bug prevention tools. Having a travel-sized spray on hand ensures you’re prepared to protect yourself and your belongings at any moment.
Stay Vigilant While Traveling
When you arrive at your accommodations, don’t assume everything is bed bug-free. Conduct a thorough inspection:
-
Inspect the Bed: Check the mattress seams, headboard, and bed frame for any signs of bed bugs, such as dark spots or tiny insects.
-
Examine Furniture: Bed bugs often hide in crevices of upholstered chairs and sofas.
-
Protect Your Luggage: Avoid placing your suitcase on the bed or floor. Use luggage racks whenever possible. Spray your luggage with Premo Guard Bed Bug and Mite Spray upon arrival to create an added layer of protection.
If you’re using public transportation, take precautions there too. Bus and train seats, as well as plane upholstery, can harbor bed bugs. A quick spray of Premo Guard can give you peace of mind while you travel.
Post-Travel: Don’t Let Bed Bugs Follow You Home
Once your trip is over, it’s essential to ensure you’re not bringing any unwanted pests back with you. Begin by inspecting your luggage for signs of bed bugs before bringing it inside. Empty your suitcase outside if possible and vacuum it thoroughly. Use Premo Guard Bed Bug and Mite Spray to treat the interior and exterior of your suitcase.
Next, wash all clothing—even unworn items—in hot water. Add Premo Guard Laundry Additive to your wash cycle for extra protection. This product effectively kills bed bugs, mites, and other pests without damaging fabrics. By incorporating these steps, you can stop bed bugs in their tracks before they make themselves at home.
