Bed bugs are little creatures that cause awful infestations at homes. They transfer from one place to another by clinging to the clothes or luggage. Having bed bug infestation does not mean that your home is dirty and shabby; it simply means you or your belongings came in contact with an infected area.
Traveling is a primary cause of bed bug infestations. Places like hotels and motels are the exclusive spots for picking up bed bugs. These bugs can find a way into your luggage if you put it on the bed or closet in these places. Bed bugs hide in the seams of the mattresses, bedding such as sheets and blankets, beneath loose edges of wallpaper, between the cracks of wooden floors, and wall cracks or crevices. Moreover, they can be found in carpets and seams, and cracks. They ride on infested items, including furniture, suitcases, clothing, purses, and backpacks.
