Repel

 The surge in bed bug cases worldwide, including in Singapore, is emerging as a significant concern for individuals, especially those who have recently travelled. The lack of personal hygiene during overseas trips elevates the risk of bringing bed bugs back home. In this article, we'll explore the escalating bed bug hazard, effective precautions to take, and how Theo10 Insect Repellent can be your ultimate shield against these pesky insects.

Understanding the Bed Bug Threat:

Bed bugs, typically sized between 4 - 7mm, appear either red or dark brown. Their whitish eggs, the size of a pinhead, are often laid out in clusters in small, tight spaces. Bed bug bites are smaller than mosquito bites but cause itchiness. Initial bites tend to be clustered or aligned on the skin. Signs of bed bugs include small black spots on bed sheets and bed springs, which might be bed bug excrement. Shedded skin and bed bug eggs are also indicators of infestation.

Precautions During Travel:

1.Inspect Your Hotel Room:

   Before settling in, inspect your hotel room using a flashlight. Check for any signs of bed bugs on the mattress, in drawers, and around the bed area.

2. Avoid Drawer Storage:

   Refrain from storing your clothes in drawers provided by hotels. Instead, keep your suitcase on a luggage rack to minimise the risk of bed bugs transferring onto your belongings.

3.Use a Luggage Rag:

   Place your suitcase on a luggage rag when staying in hotels. This additional layer can act as a barrier to prevent bed bugs from crawling onto your luggage.

4. Seal Contaminated Items:

   If bed bugs are detected on your personal belongings, place the contaminated items in a plastic bag and seal it securely to prevent further spreading.

5.Post-Travel Inspection:

   After returning from your travels, thoroughly inspect your luggage, ensuring that it is free from any unwanted hitchhikers.

Effective Bed Bug Elimination Methods:

1. High-Temperature Dryer:

   Place infested clothes and objects in a dryer and set it at a very high temperature for at least 30 minutes. This heat treatment is effective in killing bed bugs and their eggs.

2. Hot Water Washing:

   Wash clothes using extremely hot water, reaching temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. High temperatures ensure the elimination of bed bugs during the washing process.

3. Steam Treatments:

   Use hot steam treatments with temperatures reaching up to 100 degrees Celsius. Steam is a powerful method to eradicate bed bugs in various settings.

4. Freezing Method:

   Alternatively, items can be put in a freezer at temperatures of -18 degrees Celsius or lower. This freezing method effectively eliminates bed bugs by exposing them to extreme cold.
