Bed bugs are back after a long dormancy and are on the rise in Madison, Green Bay and throughout Wisconsin. They are rapidly infesting homes as well as many commercial facilities especially those with high turnover rates such as: hotels, movie theaters, college dorms and hospitals.
Avoiding bed bugs during the holiday season can be more challenging than during the rest of the year. With people traveling to see friends and families for the holidays, there will be even more bed bugs around than usual. Visiting hotels, using public transportation and even visiting the homes of friends and families can all cause you to come into contact with bed bugs. And when you’ve come into contact with these hitchhiking bloodsuckers, there’s a very good chance you will unknowingly pick them up during your journeys.
As we get ready to travel for the holidays, so do bed bugs. These insects are excellent hitchhikers, catching a ride on anything they can find so that they may follow you to your next destination. If you have bed bugs in your home, they may hide away in your suitcase, joining you on your holiday travels.
Bed bugs in Wisconsin are not making quite as many headlines as they were last year at this time, but that doesn’t mean they are going away. At Wil-Kil Pest Control, we still get phone calls daily from people that have a bed bug infestation. Almost every customer we have heard from tells us that they’ve tried everything on their own to get rid of these bugs to no avail.
It’s time to make plans to get away this summer! And whether you are just going a few hours down the road or flying to a faraway place, our Wisconsin pest control team at Wil-Kil Pest Control wanted to remind you of the importance in learning how to inspect for bed bugs before you leave.
Have you made your holiday travel plans yet? If not, now is the time to book plane tickets and reserve hotel rooms as the price is going up and the space is running out. Along with securing your travel and lodging, we advise you to be on the lookout for bed bugs this holiday season!
Whether the kids are just at a day camp or gone for most of the summer to an overnight camp, a pest threat all parents need to be on the lookout for this summer is bed bugs. These blood sucking insects have made their way across the country to hotels, dorms, schools, and now even summer camps. As with most pest threats, prevention is the best way to avoid any problems.
