Christmas may be over, but the travel rush continues. Check out this segment featuring Shane McCoy, director of quality and technical training, to arm yourself with bed bug preparedness tips before your next getaway!
As bed bug infestations continue to rise both regionally and nationally, locally-based Wil-Kil Pest Control remains steadfast in educating area individuals and businesses in the fight against bed bugs.
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.
Shane McCoy, Wil-Kil Pest Control’s Technical Training Director, talks about bed bugs and the effects on residents in Madison.
