Are you an avid backpacker? Have you just come from a sixty-day backpacking trip across Asia, crossing the mainland on overnight buses and trains, pedalling your way around Angkor's many temples and eating freshly caught seafood in Vietnam? Most people will rave about your life, because indeed, nothing beats the exhilaration of waking up in a new place every single time.
Then again, after going home, you realise that you've carted with you far more than you have bargained for. Along with the tonnes of photos and countless memories, you happen to have bed bugs too. And this is true for practically any traveller. Inns, dormitories, hostels, sleeper buses, and trains all create the risk of exposure to these annoying pests, which cling to clothes and backpacks and stay there well after you've come home.
Bed bugs, like all other pests, are a nuisance to daily life, causing itch and irritation to the skin. Thankfully however, the problem on bed bugs is conveniently solved with effective pest control. Pest management professionals can ably get rid of bed bugs and prevent them from breeding by looking at infected spots of your home and surrounding areas and disinfecting their breeding grounds. Pest Control In Singapore requires a highly technical process, not the least since it involves chemicals not anybody can administer. This means that once you discover an infestation, do not take it upon yourself to eliminate them, spraying random chemicals that are not made for bed bug eradication in the first place.
Once eliminated, you also have to ensure you do not put in another batch from your upcoming travels. To minimise the infestation of bed bugs, take a little more caution with your belongings while travelling. Because bed bugs cling to cloth, do not place your backpacks and clothes on practically any surface. It's always better to keep your clothes inside your backpack or else hang them instead of leaving them lying around.
Once home, you have to empty your backpack away from your couches, carpets, and particularly your bed, and put it directly into the laundry for washing. Separate your soiled clothes from your travels from the rest of your laundry as well. Wash also all the other clothes you brought with you in transit even if you didn't use them. Wash also the cloth pouches you usually overlook since they are as susceptible to tiny pests as every other cloth in your backpack.
