Holiday Travel and How to Avoid Bed Bugs

If you travel for the Holidays you are at risk of bringing home Bed Bugs.  The best way to get bed bugs is not from a hotel...  Bed bugs hitch a ride on your belongings from public transportation.  Airplanes, taxis, shuttle buses, Uber rides, buses, trains, etc.

GAG! What if you plan holiday travel and want to and avoid bed bugs?

Bed bugs are excellent hiders.  They hate light and are always burrowing and finding hiding spots.  What better than the small folds in black luggage that is crammed next to other luggage as you schlep your belongings from one cramped spot to another on airport shuttles, riding in public transportation, in the trunk of a taxi, as you make your way to your destination?

Most people think they get bed bugs from a hotel.  While you definitely can get bed bugs in a hotel room, they are not in any hurry to leave an environment that provides unlimited meals from unsuspecting victims rotating through each night.  Settling down in a hotel room is like an unlimited buffet to bed bugs, so why leave?

In contrast, if a bed bug accidentally gets on your luggage and then you schlep in daylight through luggage carousels, throw it in and around shuttles, car trunks, and roll up next to another suitcase as you wait for your plane?  Bingo - bed bugs take the opportunity to burrow in the folds of the next suitcase where they are unseen and on the move for their next location to find blood to suck.

The very best place to get bed bugs is in the luggage compartment of an airplane.  Yep - thousands of bags smashed together in the dark for hours at a time while bed bugs pick and choose the best hiding spot for their next blood destination.
