If you notice or hear more about bedbug bites occurring at a certain time of the year, you may start to wonder if there is actually a bedbug season. While it’s true that bedbug infestations seem to be more prevalent in the summer months, the bedbug treatment experts at Arab Termite and Pest Control of Cincinnati say there is no official bedbug season.

Increased Bedbug Bites In Summer

bedbug treatmentThe reason you hear about more bedbug treatments being needed in the summer months is because this is the time more people are out and about. Between increased vacations and stays at motels, there are a lot more chances for people to pick up and transport bedbugs into their homes. But because bedbugs can also be found in college dorm rooms, nursing homes, and daycare centers, infestations can happen year-round.

How Can I Avoid Having To Call For Bedbug Treatment?

Bedbugs can be extremely hard to get rid of without the help of professionals, but the bedbug treatment pros at Arab Termite and Pest Control recommend following a few tips while traveling to reduce your chances of having a problem in the first place.

For one, do a thorough inspection of every hotel and motel room you stay in before you unpack. Check the mattress, box springs, and dresser drawers for any signs of living bedbugs of their skin. Keep your suitcase elevated and off of any thick carpeting where bedbugs may be hiding. Unlike head lice, bedbugs don’t usually travel directly on humans, but rather on their clothing. When you arrive home, wash all of your clothes immediately on the hottest setting possible to kill any pesky hitchhikers you may have picked up.
