Travelling And Bed Bugs: The Link Travellers Overlook

Travelling And Bed Bugs: The Link Travellers Overlook

by Helen Price

Do you travel frequently? Have you just come home from a month-long backpacking trip across mainland Asia, pedalling along the temples of Angkor, crossing the rivers of Laos, diving in Malaysia, and feasting on freshly caught seafood in Vietnam while crossing borders via train or overnight bus? Yes, your life is the envy of most people, because indeed, nothing beats the feeling of waking up to a brand-new day in a new place.

But then you go home and you realise that you have taken with you far more than you have bargained for. Apart from the memories and countless photos, you might have taken home bed bugs for souvenirs as well. And this is true for people who are always on the road. Sleeping in inns, hostels, dormitories, trains, and sleeper buses poses travellers to bed bugs and other pests which tend to stick to clothing and backpacks, carried around until homestretch.

Bed bugs, like all other pests, are a nuisance to daily life, causing itch and irritation to the skin. Thankfully however, the problem on bed bugs is conveniently solved with effective <a href='http://www.majorspest.com/pest-control/'>pest control</a>. Pest management professionals could ably eradicate bed bugs and prevent them from breeding by looking at infected spots of your home and surrounding areas and disinfecting their breeding grounds. <a href='http://www.majorspest.com/'>Pest Control In Singapore</a> entails a highly technical process, not the least since it involves chemicals not anyone can administer. This means that as soon as you discover an infestation, do not take it upon yourself to eliminate them, spraying random chemicals that are not made for bed bug eradication in the first place.

As soon as you eliminate them, you have to assure that you at least reduce their recurrence, particularly from any of your planned travels later on. To efficiently do this, you need to take a bit more caution as to where you place your belongings when you're out travelling. Bed bugs cling to cloth, and the last thing you need to do is stow your backpack and clothes on the floor and just about any random corner of your hostel. Keep them inside your rucksack instead, or maybe hang them where they are less likely exposed.

Once home, you need to empty your backpack away from your couches, carpets, and particularly your bed, and put it directly into the laundry for washing. Separate your soiled clothing from your travels from the rest of your laundry as well. Wash also all the other clothes you brought with you on the road even if you didn't use them. Include in the laundry the cloth pouches you often overlook since they are as susceptible to tiny pests as every other fabric in your backpack.
