Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius (Cimicidae) are wingless, blood-suckers made their presence known to America, taking the limelight, about 6-8 years ago, as they became more widely spread. Contrary to popular belief, these insects are not parasites, but just similar in size, which makes them difficult to spot and get rid of.

GotchA! Bed Bug Inspectors state that airports and airplanes are prime environments for spreading. Although bed bugs require a warm environment for survival, they can find the warmth on clothes, blankets and other materials. The close-quarters of an airplane make it easy for bed bugs to move from one host to another, while the same can be said for the close proximity of luggage. Bed bugs breed effortlessly, laying hundreds of eggs, which can quickly evolve into an infestation. Not only are they a nuisance, but the saliva, from their bites, is reported to be extremely itchy and in the event of prolonged exposure to the bites, can cause dangerous allergic reactions.

To keep the holiday season free of bed-bugs, the experienced and knowledgeable professionals at GotchA! Bed Bug Inspectors provided a few pointers for travelers. To prevent the spread of bed bugs via luggage, it is suggested travelers spray the inside and outside of their luggage with a bed bug repellent. However, it is most important to pay close attention ones surroundings. While on the plane, look for signs of bed bug skin/shells or eggs. Another indicator could be red or brown streak on seats or even your seatbelt. It is also important to examine clothes and other materials, once they have been unpacked. And in the event of a positive, bed bug identification, speak to an airline agent and/or call an expert like GotchA! Bed Bug Inspectors. Tis the season to be giving, but bed bugs are one present no one wants to receive.
