Regular cleaning of your home is a great way to prevent bed bugs. Reduce clutter and vacuum every where -- including all mattresses on a weekly basis. It is also suggested that you wash all bedding at least once a week.
Bed bugs thrive in warm, upholstered places such as mattresses, sofas, pillows, and carpets. Therefore, covering your mattress and pillows with plastic covers will prevent bed bugs from making a home in them.
If traveling, be sure to thoroughly check the hotel room in which you are staying. If you suspect bed bugs, ask for a different room. Bed bugs are master hitchhikers and will catch a ride to your home via your clothes, suitcase, and shoes.
