Traveling BedBugs

Watch out when traveling:

Bedbugs are traveling about all the time, but during those periods when we travel more we actually hear about them more often as well. So pay attention and if you suspect them in your room, ask to move across the hotel. Don’t place you luggage on bed or on chairs, I place mine in the bathroom, far far away from any place where they might hide. When you return home, undo the luggage in the garage or back porch. No sense bringing them into your home – cause that will bring on added $$$$$$ for treatment. If you think that they got into your home ask for an opinion by a qualified professional pest management operator such as ProBest Pest Management – QualityPro since 2005.

Watch the video for more information regarding these little blood suckers – “Sleep tight and don’t let the Bedbugs bite”.

Oh and by the way, this is a job for someone who knows this bug. Don’t do foolish things like spread DE everywhere or use a blowtorch (I know some people have done this). Use common sense and call ProBest at 602-249-7378, this could be the smartest thing you did this whole year.

Bedbugs and hotels, did you know this?

I used to travel a lot and I’m guilty of letting the maids skip my room, I thought it would allow them to go home earlier. So this recent article made me smarter about a hotel stay. “Five myths about hotel housekeeping

 

Obviously I’m making a point about one of the myths and that is that the Bedbug scare is over – people are taking more precautions but those pesky little bugs are still out there.

Check out All things Bedbugs for more information and things to do to prevent an infestation at your home.

End of the year – holiday bug photo spread

 

I could not help but to pass this along, I’m sure all of us have from time to time run across a bug and thought WOW that is colorful. Well Live Science did a little Christmas photo article “Tis the season: Gallery of Festive Insects“, by Remy Melina. Great article!

My favorite is the Candy Cane Moth or maybe the Antlered Wasp. What is your favorite? Have you ever walked in the woods and instead of looking up, try looking down and spotting the beauty and grandeur of the bug world. There are many insects out there that are just beautiful, I know what you’re thinking – they are bugs. Remember without bugs we might not be here on earth, many pollinate and also turn wood into soil.

Remember there will always be bugs, the key is to keep them out of our homes.
