The Holiday Souvenir Nobody Wants: Bed Bugs in the Luggage

Gqeberha – The bags are unpacked and the holiday is over. If a household then calls True Clean about suspected bed bugs, recent travel is one of the things Diederik Visser wants to hear about.

In his experience with clients, a weekend or week away is a common backstory. He describes bed bugs arriving home in luggage after a trip.

But the history is only part of the enquiry. Visser has also arrived at homes where the caller was certain the problem was bed bugs, and found fleas instead.

His inspection starts with places close to the bed: mattress seams, the headboard, behind it and nearby cupboards. He looks for insects, eggs and the marks around their hiding places. A description of bites alone does not settle the identification.

The findings help establish which areas need attention and what work to propose. Treatment preparation and any follow-up are then discussed for that home.

For anyone making an enquiry after travelling, useful details include when they returned, when the first signs appeared and where those signs have been noticed. Mention any products already used in the room as well.

Travel gives Visser a lead to follow. The inspection establishes what he is dealing with.
