NCPMA’s tips: Traveling without bed bugs – Montgomery Herald

State pest management association offers tips for preventing spread of bed bugs

Raleigh, N.C. Summer travel seasons kicks off this weekend and the North Carolina Pest Management Association (NCPMA) is urging North Carolinians to be vigilant in protecting themselves from bed bug infestations.

Bed bugs are easy to transport from one place to another. Whether youre staying in a hotel, rental property, dorm or summer camp, its important to inspect the property for signs of a bed bug infestation, said Clint Miller, NCPMA board member. Just a few simple steps can prevent an infestation in your own home.

Bed bugs are small insects that are often found in mattresses and upholstered furniture and behind baseboards and wallpaper. They can easily spread from room to room within a single building.

To prevent bed bugs, use the following tips from NCPMA:

Inspect

Before sleeping in a bed at a hotel, rental property, camp or dorm, check the mattress, bed sheets, and headboard for tell-tale blood spots or signs of bed bugs.

If signs of bed bugs are spotted, alert the hotel or rental property staff. Each hotel or rental property should have a Bed Bug Management Plan in place to assist you as the problem is addressed.

Vacuum suitcases after returning from a vacation, summer camp or dorm and throw away the vacuum bag or clean the canister. Wash all clothing from the suitcases in hot water.

Prepare

Consider bringing a large plastic trash bag in which to store your suitcase during stays at hotels, rental properties, dorms or camps.

Carry a flashlight with you to inspect mattresses and furniture in your vacation property.

Read Bed Bugs: Your Guide to Prevention, Detection & Treatment, a NCPMA booklet available through our member companies.

Call

Seek professional pest management to address an infestation. Trying to treat a problem without a professional can make the problem worse and more costly.

itching all over – is it bed bugs? – Lonely Planet

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

Hi, hopefully someone can offer some advice on my current itching problem..?!

About 3 weeks ago i woke up and found myself itching all over. My first reaction is it was something from the bed but i have never had anything like this before so dont know and didnt know how to check at the time so just moved hotel. I have researched bed bugs now and it sounds like them but maybe not i am not sure?! I feel the itching all day but in keeping with bed bugs i get it in my sleep at night, probably the worst but not every night, though with time it seems to be getting worse so again that could be the eggs hatching and multiplying in numbers maybe?

I dont have any bite marks, though i have read this is common but i cant see any bugs on me at all anywhere and after reading many guides and advice on looking for them, i can't find them in my current room anywhere.

My understanding is that i probably picked them up from a bed and since then they have been on me but they dont live on me - is that right? - does that mean that at night they leave my body to live on anything close by and that when i go to sleep they, being nocturnal,they travel from their hiding places and feed on me and then leave me again by next morning? Is the continual itching through the day therefore from the bites the night before, not from them still on my body?

Before washing and treating all my clothes and belongings i want to understand what i have and then the best way to try and get rid. I plan to take all my clothes and bags to the laundry and wash on 60 degrees and clean everything else with a spray mixture of dettol and baby oil, which i use already as a mosquito repellent and have read elsewhere this kills the bugs but not any eggs apparently. So if i have eggs on me, and i cant kill them, but can kill all the bugs on me and my possessions, doesnt that mean that when the eggs hatch i am faced with the same continual problem until finally i kill them all and by chance kill the egg layers too?

I am going today to try see a local doctor but unsure i will get the right advice so i hope someone can help me on here too.
