How to Kill Bed Bugs

To keep your home free of the vampire hitchhikers, there are also actions you can take when you get home from a trip.

Before bringing your bags and suitcases too far into the home, look them over closely for any signs of bed bugs or live bugs. Put your clothes into a washing machine or large trash bag, and vacuum the luggage. Wash the clothes from the trip in hot water and dry with heat for at least 20 minutes.
