18. Preventing bed bug infestations

Preventing a bed bug infestation is always better than treating one. Avoid bringing used furniture into your home without thoroughly checking it for signs of bed bugs. When traveling, inspect hotel beds and keep your luggage off the floor to minimize the risk of bringing these pests home. Regularly wash and heat-dry your bed linens to kill any potential bugs or eggs.
