Luggage is one of the most common ways bed bugs travel between locations, making it worth a closer look before and after trips.
Why Luggage Is So Effective for Bed Bugs
Suitcases and bags offer seams, linings and folds that provide exactly the tight, dark hiding spots bed bugs prefer, and they're moved directly between locations by their unwitting host.
How to Check Your Luggage
- Inspect seams and linings closely with a torch
- Check pockets and zip compartments
- Look inside wheel wells and handle mechanisms
- Vacuum thoroughly if you're at all concerned
Reducing the Risk
Hard-shell suitcases offer fewer hiding spots than soft fabric bags, and keeping luggage off hotel beds and floors during trips reduces the chance of picking anything up in the first place.
