Schools-Score-Poor-Grades-for-Bed-Bugs
How do you prevent bed bugs coming home with your kids? Here are some tips you might want to consider:
- Have your kids change as soon as they come home; and wash their school-wear in hot water, and tumble dry on high. Worried about bringing the clothes through the house? Throw them into a GreenClean Dissolvable Laundry Bag.
- Have your kids shower after school every day, making sure they shampoo their hair.
- Keep their school bag and jacket separate, in the porch or garage, to reduce the risk of bringing bugs inside.
You should also check with your children every day to make sure they haven't been bitten by anything during the night. Bed bug bites are red and blotchy; and often appear in threes indicating the signature breakfast, lunch and dinner feeding cycle of bed bugs.
If you hear of a bed bug outbreak at your school, dont panic. Washing clothes, jackets and bags when your kids come home is often enough to help prevent bed bugs graduating to your home.
