Bed Bugs After Travelling Abroad

Travelling abroad is one of the most common ways people unknowingly bring bed bugs home, regardless of how careful they normally are.

Simple Checks While Away

• Inspect the mattress seams and headboard on arrival
• Keep luggage on a rack, not the bed or floor
• Check bedding for small blood spots or black marks
• Avoid unpacking directly into hotel drawers if concerned

What to Do When You Get Home

Unpack directly into the washing machine where possible, using a hot wash, and inspect luggage seams and linings closely before storing it away again.

If You Suspect You've Brought Bed Bugs Home

Isolate the affected luggage and clothing where possible, and book an inspection promptly rather than waiting to see if bites appear.
