You’ve definitely heard about Bed Bugs infesting hotels, homes and YES...DORMS. These bed bugs persist, even with modern cleaning standards and pest controls. These hard-to-kill critters are disgusting, can carry diseases, and many people are concerned about a solution. Although DormCo is not going to get all scientific trying to explain how due to conditions X, Y and Z these bugs have increased, we will tell you how to prevent and protect your dorm bed.

Universities are vigilant and nothing ruins a college’s good name faster than the press talking about their residence halls having bed bugs. Rest assured your college does not want bed bugs, but at the same time it is hard to know which student introduced them to the dorm or which room they originated in. By not knowing the exact source or room, it becomes all that more difficult to eradicate the problem should a dorm outbreak occur.

In the meantime, the best defense is a good offense! Prevent your dorm bed from having bed bugs by having a solution before a problem occurs. There are two ways to ensure your Twin XL dorm bed won’t be Bed Bug ridden.
