Are you fond of travelling? Have you just come home from a two-month holiday in mainland Asia, sleeping in buses and trains while hopping from temples to rivers to beaches to mountains, doing things most people would simply dream about doing while stuck in their office cubicles? Well, most people will agree you are living an enviable life, because truth be told, nobody would probably prefer the morning city traffic over an easygoing early morning in some remote Pacific island.
But then you go home and you realise that you have taken with you far more than you have bargained for. Aside from the memories and countless photos, you may have taken home bed bugs for souvenirs as well. And this is true for people who are always on the road. Sleeping in hostels, inns, dormitories, sleeper buses, and trains poses travellers to bed bugs and other pests that tend to stick to clothing and backpacks, transported 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 easily solved with effective pest control. Pest management professionals could ably eradicate bed bugs and prevent them from breeding by looking at infected areas of your home and surrounding areas and disinfecting their breeding grounds. Pest Control In Singapore entails a highly technical process, not the least because it involves chemicals not anyone can administer. This means that once 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 eliminated, you also need to ensure you do not put in another batch from your future travels. To minimise the infestation of bed bugs, take a bit more caution with your belongings while travelling. Since bed bugs cling to cloth, don't place your backpacks and clothes on practically any surface. It's always better to keep your clothes inside your backpack or else hang them instead of leaving them lying around.
Once home, you need to empty your rucksack away from your couches, carpets, and especially your bed, and place it straight on the laundry for washing. Separate your soiled clothing from your travels from the rest of your laundry too. Wash also all the other clothes you brought with you in transit even if you did not use them. Wash also the cloth pouches you usually overlook because they are as vulnerable to tiny pests as every other fabric in your backpack.
