    DOD expert offers tips on keeping bed bugs from hitching unwanted rides this travel season

    Department of Defense public health experts recommend steps people can follow to avoid spreading bed bugs while traveling. Keep your suitcase as far away from the bed as possible. Instead, opt for the closet or bathroom to prevent insects from crawling into personal belongings. Thoroughly inspect the room and sleeping area, including all bed furniture and close proximities, such as between the mattress, box spring and bedding, should be carefully inspected. Insects are often hard to find; it is more common to see shed skins (golden color), blood stains on the mattress, or fecal spots, which often resemble multiple black ink stains.
