How to Stop Bed Bugs from Spreading

Bed bugs are more than just a nuisance; they are persistent pests that can quickly spread throughout your home or workplace, making eradication increasingly difficult. If you’ve discovered bed bugs in your surroundings, acting fast to prevent their spread is crucial.

Signs of Bed Bug Infestation

Before stopping their spread, it’s essential to confirm their presence. Look out for these common signs:

Bite marks on exposed skin, often in a linear pattern.
Small rusty stains on bed sheets or furniture from crushed bed bugs.
Egg shells or shed skins in mattress seams and furniture crevices.
A distinct musty odor, often associated with bed bug infestations.

Tips to Stop Bed Bugs from Spreading

1. Isolate the Affected Area

Prevent bed bugs from moving to other parts of your home by isolating the infested area.

Use bed bug-proof mattress encasements for beds.
Avoid moving infested furniture to other rooms.
Place sticky traps around the bed or furniture to monitor their activity.

2. Wash and Heat-Treat Fabrics

Bed bugs and their eggs cannot withstand high temperatures.

Wash bedding, clothing, and curtains in hot water (at least 60°C).
Dry them in a high-heat dryer cycle for 30 minutes or more.
Store clean items in sealed plastic bags to prevent reinfestation.

3. Vacuum Regularly

Vacuuming can remove bed bugs from carpets, furniture, and cracks.

Focus on mattress seams, bed frames, and baseboards.
Dispose of the vacuum bag or contents in a sealed plastic bag immediately after cleaning.

4. Limit Human Movement

To avoid spreading bed bugs to other locations:

Avoid sitting or lying on uninfested furniture after coming into contact with bed bugs.
Do not transport infested items without sealing them in plastic.

5. Use Professional Bed Bug Treatment
