If you discover a bed bug problem in your home or business, you likely want to contain the problem as soon as possible. One of the best, easiest things you can do to control the spread of a bed bug problem is to wash clothing, bedding, and any other infested fabrics in a high-heat washing cycle on your machine. However, it’s important to be extremely cautious when transferring infested items from one area in your home to another to avoid spreading the bugs. First, it’s important to sort your clothes. After sorting as you normally would, place each sorted pile into separate plastic bags. Seal the bags prior to moving to your machines to avoid them getting into other rooms.
