Bed bugs are small insects that are hard to remove from a home. They often arrive on luggage, used furniture, or clothing. So check these things carefully. If bed bugs are already in your home, vacuum every surface. Then empty the vacuum into a trash bin outside right away. Wash bedding and clothes, and dry them at the highest safe temperature.
For a serious problem, you may need a pest control professional. You can also lower the risk before it starts. Look closely at used furniture and bedding before bringing them inside. In a hotel, check the edges and folds of the mattress. Keep your suitcase on a rack or table, not on the floor or bed.
