Bed bugs are super elusive beings. They quickly hide into the cracks and crevices of the material making it extremely hard for you to reach them physically. Again, it is important for you to know that beds are not the only place where you can find bed bugs. Any place that provides the optimal environment for their growth and breeding, can be infested by bed bugs. And they grow very fast and that is why they cause ‘infestation’. For the prevention of bed bugs infestation, you can follow certain steps, some of which has been discussed below.

Covering all the power outlets:As we have already mentioned, bed bugs are extremely evasive and they can use any space to evade being exterminated. They tend to use these power outlets in order to evade extermination. They usually climb into the outlet holes to evade being detected. They remain there until they find a suitable environment again for their survival. If the infestation is severe, it becomes even more problematic as they can travel from one room into the other through the wall by using the electrical outlets as their medium. This is problematic as this makes it very difficult to exterminate them. And this also enables them to infest other spaces quickly.

Use Vacuum sealed bags for storage of clothes:This is particularly necessary when you are travelling. People tend to bring bed bugs from hotels and other public spaces such as motel lodgings. The bedbugs tend to latch-on to clothes and that is how they are brought home unwittingly. To prevent this, it is advised that you use vacuum sealed bags. You can keep your clothes in the vacuum sealed bags and this shall reduce the chances of the bed bugs latching on to the clothes.
