Bed bugs travel in luggage, furniture and clothing. In a city with tourists, military moves and many rentals, they turn up in homes of every kind.

Itchy bites in lines, small blood spots on sheets and dark specks along mattress seams.

Moving furniture or sleeping in another room can spread them. Keep things where they are until a professional inspects.

Heat treatments, targeted products or both may be used. Most need follow-up visits.

The company will give a prep list, such as washing bedding on hot and bagging items.

Short-term rentals near the beach see guests from everywhere. Regular inspections catch problems early.

Check hotel beds and keep luggage off the floor; wash clothes on hot after trips.

Tell the company where you've seen signs. Send a request and a pest control company will get in touch.

Inspect used mattresses, couches and headboards carefully before bringing them home, especially in a city where people move often.

Bag clothes from shared laundries and travel, and dry them on high heat when you get home.

Keep checking mattress seams for a few weeks after treatment and report any new signs.
