bed bug repellent or prevention?

I work for a home care agency providing services for 5-8 patients a day. The city I work in is having a huge bed bug problem. I want to do everything I can to prevent bringing bed bugs to my home or infesting other patient's homes. I avoid sitting, which is hard because I like sitting down and talking to my patients. Is there something I can spray on my shoes to repel the bugs so they don't hitch a ride with me? Any other advice for prevention would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I"d spray something like JT Eaton luggage and travel spray. It will provide 3 to 6 weeks protection. I'd spray you handbag and any other items that you carry with you. It is alcohol based so test it first to make sure it doesn't stain.

    As an alternative, there are natural repellent sprays, although I'd go with the insecticide based product as these provide continuous protection.

    I've included links to information on both types of products in the resources.
