Moving and Bed Bugs

Bed bug infestations have reached epic proportions and things are only going to get worse.  Some researchers think this summer is going to be the worst on record.

Moving Isn’t the Solution:
A lot of times people will hear that their building has been infested with bed bugs, so they will decide to move before their apartment gets hit.  Unfortunately, this train of thought is what causes bed bugs to be spread even more.

They think they are “beating” the bed bugs to the punch by moving, but usually what ends up happening is that they are in the early stages of infestation and don’t know it.  By the time they have found a new place, moved and got settled in their new place it’s too late. 

They go through all that trouble only to find their new place is infested too!  In fact, it was probably them who brought the bed bugs to the new building in their possessions, on the movers blankets and tools and truck.

Movers Could be the Problem:
Even if your place doesn’t have bed bugs when you decide to move, if you deal with an inexperienced mover who is ignorant of the dangers of bed bugs, then you can easily catch them.

Think about it:  Movers travel all over the city, doing multiple jobs a day sometimes.  In the bed bug capital of the world, they are sure to pick up some unwanted passengers along the way.  Without proper disinfection and cleaning between moves, their tools, blankets and trucks could be harboring these nasty little critters.
They load up your stuff and all of sudden you have a new problem to deal with at your new residence.

The Solution:
If you already have bed bugs:  You need to use a complete eradication service that removes your belongings, fumigates them (along with the mover’s tools), inspects them for infestation using highly trained K-9s and then returns them to a treated apartment.

If you’re moving:  You need to use a moving service that is certified to deal with bed bugs and trained to spot the signs of infestation early.  Talk to your movers about the steps they take to avoid bed bug contamination and the guarantees they can provide you.
