Apply a generous amount to the bite to soothe the burning sensation and itching.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Witch Hazel:<\/strong> This plant provides a mild anaesthetic affect that assists in calming itching after a bite. You can find Witch Hazel In form of an infusion, capsules or mother tincture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aloe Vera:<\/strong> Aloe Vera (either &#8220;fresh&#8221; or as a gel) works well against insect bites.

It is also a natural astringent. Lemon juice can help dry rashes and itchiness while also reducing the redness and calm down the swelling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Preventing a bed bug infestation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are five tips to help ensure you don\u2019t bring an infestation home with you:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Before you travel, check sites like TripAdvisor for customer reviews.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Has your hotel had a problem with bed bugs in the past? If so, there\u2019s a fair chance guests will have taken the time to share their story to warn others. It\u2019s always best to check ahead of time so you don\u2019t encounter any unwanted guests.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Check your case and hotel room when you arrive.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When you enter a hotel room, make sure you check for signs of bedbugs before you start unpacking. The usual signs to look for are live insects, shed skins or blood spotting around your bed frame, mattress or headboard. In hotels, they\u2019re usually found on the bed, but can also be found behind skirting boards, under loose wallpaper, pictures, mirrors and furniture.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t put your case on the bed when you arrive.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s the first thing many of us do when we arrive somewhere new, but if you suspect that there\u2019s an issue, put your case in an empty bath or shower. This helps to reduce the risk of \u2018bed bug hitchhikers\u2019- bugs crawling from the bedding inside your bag or case and on to your clothing and vice versa.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Ask to change rooms.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you suspect bed bugs are present, then ask to change hotel rooms and request one on a different floor, which is not directly above or below the suspected room. This is because bed bugs can travel up and down between rooms.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Search and wash your belongings as soon as you get home.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When you get back home after a trip, make sure you do the same as when you arrived at your hotel: put your case in a bath and check for signs of bugs as you unpack your clothing. Even if you don\u2019t find any evidence of bugs, it\u2019s always good to wash any clothing you took with you on a 60-degree wash to help kill any live bugs or eggs.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unfortunate enough to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/bed-bugs\/how-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs\/\">bed bug infestation<\/a> then it is advisable to seek the help of a pest control professional.
