As spring break trips and summer vacations ramp up, there’s one thing no traveler wants to deal with: bed bugs. These tiny, persistent pests don’t just infest hotel rooms—they hide in luggage, cling to clothing, and can easily hitch a ride back to your home. That’s why bed bug prevention while traveling is more important than ever.
Whether you’re headed to a beach resort, mountain cabin, or bustling city hotel, protecting yourself with natural bed bug spray and smart travel habits can save you from an itchy and expensive problem. Here’s how to stay bug-free from takeoff to unpacking.
✈️ Bed Bugs and Travel: A Growing Concern
With the rise in global travel and shared lodging, bed bug infestations have surged across hotels, Airbnbs, and even high-end resorts. These pests are notoriously difficult to detect and can survive for weeks without feeding—making your suitcase the perfect hiding spot.
Unlike common insects, bed bugs aren’t a sign of poor hygiene. They’re drawn to warmth, carbon dioxide, and dark, fabric-covered places—like mattresses, furniture, and luggage. That’s why any traveler, no matter the destination or budget, should be cautious.
🕵️ How to Check Your Hotel Room for Bed Bugs
Before you even unpack, take two minutes to inspect the room:
-
Pull back the sheets and check the mattress seams, especially near the headboard.
-
Look for dark spots, reddish stains, shed skins, or even live bugs (about the size of an apple seed).
-
Don’t forget to inspect upholstered chairs, nightstands, and luggage racks.
Using your phone’s flashlight helps spot what’s hidden in dimly lit corners. If anything looks suspicious, request a room change or leave immediately.
🛡️ Spray Before You Stay: Protecting Yourself with Premo Guard
After your inspection, take extra precautions by applying a trusted bed bug spray for travel. Premo Guard’s TSA-approved 3 oz Bed Bug & Mite Spray is made with plant-based ingredients and can be safely used on:
-
Hotel mattresses and box springs
-
Headboards and bedding
-
Luggage interiors and exteriors
-
Furniture or fabric surfaces in the room
This powerful, non-toxic spray works by breaking down the pests’ exoskeletons—killing bed bugs on contact and helping prevent infestations before they start. Unlike harsh chemical sprays, Premo Guard is safe for people, pets, and the environment, making it a must-have in every suitcase.
🧺 After the Trip: Wash Away Any Hitchhikers
Even with all the right precautions, bed bugs can still sneak into your luggage. That’s why your post-trip routine is just as important.
As soon as you get home:
-
Unpack directly into your washing machine—do not place travel clothes on your bed or carpet.
-
Use Premo Guard’s Bed Bug and Mite Killer Laundry Additive in a hot wash to kill any hidden bed bugs, mites, or eggs on your clothes, bedding, or even stuffed animals.
-
Dry everything on the highest heat setting possible.
-
Wipe down and spray your luggage before storing it away.
This simple routine can make the difference between a clean home and a surprise infestation weeks later.
