NJ and NYC residents probably have not been thinking too much about bed bugs during the holiday season. Relatives, friends, presents and food have a higher priority. However, if you have traveled in an airplane or train to visit relatives during the holidays make sure you check for bed bugs. The critters have been found in airline and train seats. The cleaning crews typically don’t do a thorough enough cleaning to get rid of bed bugs.

How about those relatives who stayed a couple of days during the holidays? Did you have a bed bug sniffing beagle inspect them before they stayed in your NJ, NYC home and slept in your beds? I think not!

Do you have a college student who came from his bed bug infested dorm and unknowingly brought a gang of bed bugs with him.

Did an unscrupulous relative find some dumped furniture infested with bed bugs, shined it up and passed it off as a gift. It happens all the time! Perhaps once in a while.

With all the traveling, visiting homes and having visitors entering your home it might be a good time to do a bed bug inspection in your home.

If you have bed bugs call a professional to eliminate them. Visit the Stern website for NYC and NJ pest control services.
