Are you fond of travelling? Have you just come home from a two-month holiday in mainland Asia, sleeping in buses and trains while hopping from temples to rivers to mountains to beaches, doing things most people will simply dream about doing while stuck in their office cubicles? Well, most will agree you are living an enviable life, because truth be told, nobody will probably choose the morning city traffic over an easygoing early morning in a remote island.
But then you go home and realise that you have taken with you far more than you have bargained for. Aside from the memories and countless photos, you may have taken home bed bugs for souvenirs as well. And this is true for individuals who are always in transit. Sleeping in hostels, inns, dormitories, sleeper buses, and trains poses travellers to bed bugs and other pests which tend to cling to clothing and backpacks, carried around until homestretch.
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 easily solved with effective pest control. Pest management professionals can ably eradicate 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 entails a highly technical process, not the least since it involves chemicals not anybody can administer. This means that as soon as you discover an infestation, do not take it upon yourself to eliminate them, spraying random chemicals that are not made for bed bug eradication to begin with.
As soon as you get rid of them, you have to assure that you at least minimise their recurrence, particularly from any of your planned travels in the future. To effectively do this, you need to take a bit more caution as to where you put your belongings when you're out travelling. Bed bugs cling to fabric, and the last thing you have to do is stow your backpack and clothes on the floor and just about any random corner of your hostel. Keep them inside your backpack instead, or maybe hang them where they are less likely exposed.
Once you reach home, it is best to empty your backpack someplace else besides your bed or bedroom and put it into the laundry for washing. Wash the clothes you have worn in transit separately from the others. It is also advisable to wash all other clothes, even those you didn't end up using during your trip. It is also recommended to clean cloth pouches because these are as vulnerable as any article of clothing you own.
