Bell Environmental Services' Travel Bed Bug Kit contains a 6 ounce bed bug
control luggage spray, an inspection card that includes color photos of bed
bugs for identification and instructions on how to use the travel kit, an LED
flashlight with batteries to search for bed bugs in hard to see crevices, and
several Catch-It Sticky Traps to place in the room where you're staying.

The laminated Bed Bug Travel Protection instruction card details step-by-step
how to inspect for bed bugs in a hotel room, explaining where to look for them
and what to look for. The card also explains how to prepare your luggage
before and after travel and where to place your luggage when you've entered
your room. "Most of us just plop our suitcases on the beds or on the floor in
our hotel room," said Jennifer Erdogan, manager, Bed Bug Division at Bell
Environmental. "It is best to keep your luggage away from the bed and place
it on top of the luggage rack to keep the bed bugs from crawling into your
suitcases."

Bed bugs are attracted to the carbon dioxide and heat humans emit. In a hotel
room, bed bugs would sense a new occupant and come out of hiding to feed.
Hiding in easily accessible luggage, in its cracks and crevices, make it
easier for the bed bugs to feed near its host.

The Bed Bug Travel Kit is available online at Bell at
www.bellenvironmentalstore.com or by calling Bell Environmental. The kit
retails for $29.99 and is easy to tuck into a large purse, backpack or
suitcase for easy travel. In light of the bed bug epidemic that's infiltrated
the New York Metropolitan area, as well as other pockets that are surfacing
across the United States, the Bed Bug Kit is becoming a must-have travel item
this summer and beyond.
