Traveling Tips

The general knowledge and fear of travel has reached newer heights. There are numerous ways to pick up bed bugs during travel. The first thing would be to treat your luggage with Rest Easy luggage spray. The most basic approach is if you’re staying in a hotel check the head board and around the mattress tufts for the bed bug signs listed in Identification & Behavior section. Also you should not place your suitcase on the bed or floor of a hotel room. The best place would be on the luggage stand or a table that is farthest from the bed.

When returning home one should place all clothing from luggage into garbage bags to get washed before reusing. The luggage should be treated with steri fab on the inside and out and the luggage should be placed in a garbage bag until needed for the next trip. Travelers can also place their suitcases in the new Packtite device to kill any bed bugs that may be in the suitcase. This device is sold in our web store.
