How to avoid bringing bedbugs back from vacation – KelownaNow

Posted on March 8, 2017 by toronto Click Here For Article

When escaping to the sun this winter, youre probably expecting to come back with a tan, not bedbugs.

According to Health Canada, bedbugs bite people while they sleep and feed on their blood, usually causing minor skin reactions. In rare cases, it can lead to severe allergic reactions.

Before leaving for vacation, travellers are urged to learn how to spot bedbugs and avoid bringing them home in their luggage, clothing and other personal items.

Bedbugs are brown and have small, flat, oval shaped bodies that are similar in appearance to an apple seed. In advance, you should do your research and learn how to spot them.

When youre on the trip, you should check your hotel room before you unpack. If you find signs of bedbugs, you can notify the front desk and ask for another room, or stay somewhere else. If you change rooms in the same hotel, make sure your new room is not next to the possibly infested room.

Bedbugs can hide in many places, like under wallpaper, behind picture frames, in electrical outlets, inside box springs, in mattress pads and in night tables, so make sure to check everywhere.

Bedbug fighting tips:

When you return home, carefully check your luggage and all of its contents. It is also a good idea to wash and dry all clothing and fabric items at a high temperature after you get back, to help kill any bedbugs you may have picked up.

Question: So I had the Orkin Man to my apartment on Saturday and they determined we have bed bugs. I am currently scheduling an appointment to have this problem taken care of. I have followed the preparation sheet but there is no information concerning the clothes in the bedroom. I was told to move everything away from walls and vacuum and to box up any clutter. What do I do with the clothes?? Do they remain in the room? And if so should they be boxed/bagged?? Or do I remove them from the room?

Answer: To reduce the potential for bed bug infested clothes re-infesting the room, it is best if you remove the clothes and wash them all or have them dry cleaned. If washing, be sure to use hot water and high heat in the dryer.

Question: I have bed bugs! I dont believe I have an infestation, and my furniture and apartment have been sprayed multiple times, but I am throwing much of my furniture out anyway, and moving out.

My question is thisI need to wash all of my clothing so that I can take them with me without the risk of bringing the bed bugs. How can I do that? I know they need very hot water. Will a normal wash and dry at a laundromat do? Is there any way to treat (spray, fumigate) the clothes before washing them?

ANSWER: Regular washing and drying of the clothes at high temperatures will be fine, no treatment of clothing is needed.
