The arid climate that naturally comes from the Las Vegas desert can bring with it many pests that tourists are not used to. Bedbugs and scorpions might easily make it back into your residence hundreds of miles away if you are not careful! Here are a few ways to make sure that everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Splurge on Your Hotel Lodgings

The cheaper hotels in Las Vegas are obviously the ones that do not put as much pride in their cleanliness – they are the ones most likely to keep their bedsheets on longer and create a bedbug problem in their rooms. Bedbugs are very mobile. They can jump into your suitcases and easily travel back with you on your flight home. Once you let your clothes out when you unpack – voila – your home now has Las Vegas bedbugs.

Splurge on your hotel. Make sure that you do not even have the opportunity to bring bedbugs back when your vacation is over.

Wash All Clothes Before Leaving

Make sure that you wash every bit of clothing that you have before you leave Las Vegas, even the clothing that you did not wear. If you have to dry clean a suit or a dress, that is much better (and less expensive) than bringing pests back with you. However, if you pick a good hotel, you will be less likely to pick up the pests that make this step so vital to your health and cleanliness.

Stay Away From Unkempt Areas

Pests in Las Vegas hide where nature is at its finest. As fun as it might seem, do not go into tall grass or wet, damp spaces if you can help it. This is usually where pests will hide, and if you surprise them, you may get a nasty bite or sting for your trouble. Las Vegas pests tend to be a bit more dangerous than pests from other parts of the country (they include various types of snakes, scorpions and poisonous spiders), so it definitely is in your interests to keep to the worn streets.
