To prevent a bed bug infestation, it’s important to know what these pests look like, how they travel, and where they gather.
5 Tips to Prevent Bed Bugs Infestation
Follow these five tips and you’ll be adequately prepared to prevent a bed bug infestation in your home.
Cover Your Outlets
Outlets are common places bed bugs go to escape extermination, as they’ll hide in the holes and stay there until it’s safe to move somewhere else. Covering these outlets will rid them of the chance to do so.
Store Clothing in Vacuum-Sealed Bags
Using vacuum-sealed bags when you’re traveling will prevent bed bugs from latching onto your clothes and making the trip home with you.

Vacuum the Floor
Bed bugs can be found in more places than just the bed, like the carpet, for example. By thoroughly vacuuming your carpet (and the place where the floor and wall meet), you can eliminate bed bugs before the problem gets too big.
After you’ve vacuumed, remove the bag and place it in a sealed trash bag, then dispose of it in your garbage can outside.
Declutter Your Space
The more clutter you have, the more places bed bugs have to hide. First, get rid of the clutter resting against the walls, as this is where bed bugs like to hide most.
Donate, recycle, or throw away anything you don’t need. From there, organize what you want to keep (away from the walls) to prevent creating a haven for bed bugs.
