Hitchhiker Bugs: Let Them Hop On and You Bring Them Home (or Not!)

Think pests sneak in through open windows? The ones causing the most stress are often the stowaways you carried inside. We unpack the world of hitchhiker bugs—bed bugs, German cockroaches, and pantry invaders like Indian meal moths and cigarette beetles—and show how they ride along on luggage, boxes, clothing, and even used appliances. With real stories from the field and clear, calm guidance, we trace how a single “bargain” purchase or a weekend trip can seed a full-blown infestation.Subscribe to PEST PROSpectives where you get podcasts.Episode ResourcesPest Pros of MichiganPEST PROSpectives is a Livemic Communications production.
