Hello,

The Allergy Guy here. Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner? With that said, I know that I am getting ready to travel to my family’s house for the festivities – But the one thing I want to make sure I do is to protect myself against hitch hiking bed bugs. Whenever I travel with a suitcase, I always use a protective cover to ensure that no bugs pick up a ride on my suitcase as I take my belongings from my place to place.

The product I use is the Bugstop Suitcase Cover with Carry Pouch. The benefit of diligently encasing clothing, bags and belongings while traveling greatly reduces the likelihood of bringing bed bugs home or from place to place during travel. As I mentioned last week in my post about mattress covers, similarly a suitcase cover is a great way to prevent the spread or infestation of bed bugs. It’s an added layer of protection. And, the best part is, that after using my suitcase cover I just fold it up and place it in the pouch that is included.  When I get home, all I do is throw the pouch with cover into the dryer for 15 minutes to kill any eggs or live bugs. I’d rather be safe and secure my suitcase with a cover, then be sorry and bring bed bugs into my home.

Enjoy & safe traveling!
