Plan a check before unpacking

When traveling or returning to Lebanon, MO, take time to look over your sleeping area and belongings. A quick check can raise a concern worth reporting, but it cannot guarantee that a room or suitcase is free of bed bugs.

Look for insects, shed skins and dark spotting near mattress seams. Bites alone do not confirm bed bugs. See EPA's identification guidance.

If you notice something concerning

  • Photograph the evidence and tell the lodging manager.
  • Ask about another accommodation and handling your belongings.
  • Avoid moving suspected affected items from room to room without a plan.
  • When home, tell your technician what happened and what you have already done.

Handle belongings according to the plan

Ask for item-specific instructions for laundry, luggage and furniture. Follow care labels and treatment guidance rather than assuming ordinary washing, a quick vacuum or two weeks without sightings proves the concern is resolved. Do not improvise room-heating treatments or apply pesticides to belongings without label directions.
