Bed Bug Prevention Tips to Keep Your Home Pest-Free

Once we’ve cleared your home of bed bugs, the next important step is making sure they don’t make a comeback. The good news is, there are a few simple things you can do to keep your home bed bug-free.

First up, vacuum regularly, especially around bed frames, mattresses, and baseboards. Bed bugs tend to hang out in these spots, so keeping them clean will go a long way.

Another thing is to keep clutter to a minimum. Bed bugs love hiding in piles of clothes or junk, so the more organized your space is, the fewer places they’ll have to hide.

And finally, be careful with second-hand furniture. While thrifting is great, make sure you thoroughly inspect any used furniture before bringing it into your home.

A quick check could save you from a full-blown bed bug infestation down the line. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be well on your way to staying bed bug-free!
