Do not purchase clothes and hang them in your closet first. It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S.

A bit  of information that you might like to know about bed bugs along with some  good entomologist  (insect expert) information.

As you have heard there is an epidemic of bed  bugs occuring in  America .  Recently several  stores in NYC  have had to close due to bed bug problems, as well as a  complete mall in New  Jersey . 
 
Since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes from companies outside  of America, (sad but true ), even the most  expensive  stores sell foreign clothing from China, Indonesia, etc.  The bed bugs are coming in on the clothing as these countries do not consider them a  problem.  He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, even  underwear and  socks, sheets, towels, etc. that you bring them into the house  and put them in  your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes.  The heat  will kill them and  their eggs.  Do not purchase clothes and hang them in your closet first.  It  does not matter what the price range is of the  clothing, or if the outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the  U.S.   
 
They still get shipments from these countries and the bugs can  come in a box of scarves or anything else for that matter. That is the  reason why so many stores, many of  them clothing stores have had to  shut it down in NYC and other places.  All you need is to  bring one item into the house that has bugs or eggs and you  will go to hell  and back trying to get rid of them.
