Battling bed bug infestations
starts with knowledge

Although bed bug infestations are growing, there are many things you can do to avoid bringing them home.

Never bring discarded furniture into the house.
Check any furniture or clothing you purchase before you put it away.
Many mattress manufacturers use refurbished materials. When you purchase a mattress make sure it has been made with new materials.
Put newly purchased clothing in the dryer (follow garment care/directions labels) for 10 minutes at high heat
to kill any bed bugs that may have traveled home.
Frequently wash and heat-dry your bed linens.

Check your hotel room for any sign of bed bugs on the mattress, headboard or night stand.
Always use the luggage rack and keep your suitcase away from the wall.
Keep your belongings off the floor - hang all clothing and put shoes on the closet shelf.
Spray luggage with Pre-Strike^® bed bug killer after staying in hotel rooms, taking airline flights, cab rides, and using public transportation.
When arriving home, unpack your luggage as soon as you get in, away from furniture and carpeting. Then spray your luggage with Pre-Strike^® bed bug killer and store suitcases in an isolated space until you are sure they are bed bug free.
Put clothing from your suitcase into the dryer (follow garment care/directions labels) immediately after unpacking and heat for at least 10 minutes to kill any bed bugs.
Bring a travel sized Pre-Strike^® bed bug killer with you for added protection.
