Show Notes
Bed bugs are a common problem, especially during summer travel. Theyre tiny, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood, often biting while you sleep. Theyre hard to spot during the day, hiding in mattress seams, cracks, and furniture. Cleanliness doesnt prevent them, as they can be found in various places like hotels, homes, hospitals, and even public transportation. Bites appear as red, swollen, itchy welts on exposed skin, but some people may not react immediately. Instead, look for dark droppings or tiny eggs. If you suspect an infestation, call a professional pest control service. In the meantime, declutter, wash bedding in hot water, seal cracks, and bag infested items outside for six months. Vacuum with a sock on the hose to prevent them from hiding inside. Stay vigilant and address the issue promptly to avoid a full-blown infestation.
