Bed Bugs After a Trip: What Al Ain Families Should Check
After a trip, keep the bags away from the bedroom, wash clothes hot and check the bed. Bed bugs come home in luggage and clothes from hotels, guest houses and shared accommodation, and they have nothing to do with how clean your home is. If you find tiny dark spots on the mattress seams or wake with bites in a row, call early.
What should I do the day I get home?
• Leave bags in the entrance or bathroom. • Wash all clothes on the hottest setting the fabric allows. • Wipe hard cases and check zips and seams. • Do not put bags on the bed or sofa.
How do I check the bed?
Use a torch along the mattress piping and seams, the slats, the bed frame joints and behind the headboard. You are looking for tiny dark spots, pale skins and live bugs. Bites alone are not proof, and our guide to bed bug bites versus mosquito bites explains why.
When do I call the Al Ain team?
Call as soon as you see live bugs or fresh spots. We treat in two visits with a follow-up after eggs hatch, and your technician will confirm timing and room preparation. Our Al Ain branch is at 10 Al Dasrah Street, Shareat Al Muwaiji, Al Ain, and you can call it on 055 644 2987.
