If you are a person that works in hospitality or pest control it is possible for you to bring them home. You can use precaution to ensure that this does not happen. If you are working in a high infestation it would be wise to carry a change of clothes. You may also want shoe covers to prevent eggs from getting into the cracks of your shoes. Be sure and place your dirty clothes in a sealed bag until you are able to take them home and heat them in the dryer. Tie up and throw away the empty bag. If working in the hospitality industry you should be sure that your establishment has a written protocol on steps to follow once an infestation has been identified.
If you travel frequently you should inspect your hotel bed and headboard for signs of bed bugs. You should also bring a large heavy duty draw string plastic bag with you when you travel. You can use the bag in two different ways.
