Preventing Bedbugs

The best way to prevent bedbugs from infesting your home is to make it hard for them to get in. Since bedbugs enter homes by hopping a ride in luggage, clothing and used furniture, here are some precautions that you can take:

• Never bring bed frames, mattresses, box springs, or upholstered furniture that you find on the street into your home.
• Check all used furniture for bedbugs.
• Seal cracks and crevices with caulk, even if you don’t have bedbugs. This will help keep them from coming in.
• Wash clothing and inspect luggage immediately after returning from a trip.
• Keep your house clean and clutter-free. Any nook or cranny is another place for beg bugs to hide.
• Vacuum frequently with a HEPA vacuum cleaner, paying special attention to the crevices and corners in and around the mattress – seams, edges, between the mattresses and box springs, corners.
