IN case some of you didnt know .. I am a professional pest management specialist...

Bedbugs have made a comeback!

The company I work for has partnered with a local non profit to help those that cant afford bedbug service.. We have mobile heat treatment equipment that whacks all life stages of the bedbug...

Here is a piece that aired on KARE 11 last night... If youve never seen these critters you might find this interesting...

I've heard that you shouldn't put your clothes or suitcase on a hotel bed so that they don't crawl in and you bring them home.

We're going to Mexico soon and I've heard they are there too...  We'll be checking the bed before we get in it!  evileye

So how do you or other exterminators keep from bringing these critters (or other pests) home with you? They are walking all over that house where I would be running out the door!

Generally I make my bedbug jobs the last stop of the day... I brush off real good after and then wen I get home Ill go straight to the washing machine and throw everything washable in , put on some sweats and head straight for the shower...

4 years ago, we stayed at a Red Roof Inn in Duluth and brought them home....furious  We stripped the mattress on a Saturday morning and couldn't see any evident, so knew they were in the box springs, we have 2, and purchased plastic sealing bags to trap them in there. It worked and we haven't had any problem since. We usually go south in the Spring and always leave the suitcases in the laundry room overnight when we get back and EVERYTHING in them gets washed or left in the garage for a few days as a precaution.
