01 The myth
“You get bed bugs from a dirty house.”
That’s simply untrue. Bed bugs are good hitchhikers. They travel in luggage, folded clothes, bedding, furniture and boxes, and people pick them up in hotels, on buses and trains, even in movie theaters. No home or business is immune.

03 What to do now
Before we arrive.
- 01
Don’t panic, and don’t throw your things away. Most belongings can be treated and kept.
- 02
Reduce clutter. It gives bed bugs more places to hide and makes them harder to treat.
- 03
Call early. Skipping the DIY round can keep the infestation from spreading.
