Bed bugs travel in luggage seams, book bindings and shoe soles — not on you. The routine below stops them entering the house at all.

Your bed bug travel routine

1

On arrival

Put luggage in the bath (not on the bed or floor). Peel back sheets and check mattress seams, headboard and bedside table for dark spots or bugs. Move rooms if you see anything.

2

During the stay

Keep suitcase closed on a luggage rack away from walls. Never store clothes in wooden drawers. Keep dirty laundry in a sealed plastic bag.

3

Back in the UK

Unpack outside or in the garage. Tumble dry ALL clothing on high heat for 30 minutes — this kills every stage. Vacuum out the suitcase before storing it.
