DO – Eliminate Clutter Clutter is a bed bug’s best friend and could be you’re worst enemy.

If cluttered conditions persist, you may only be able to reduce the number of bed bugs and never completely eliminate the problem.

Don’t let papers and magazines stack up.  Throw them away or shred them to reduce cluttered areas that bed bugs can hide. Important documents can be stored in plastic file storage bins. Never leave your laundry piled on the floor.  Use hampers instead.
