With thousands of people in and out each year, it is inevitable that hotels, yes even the five-star, luxury ones, are subject to the possibility of a bed bug infestation. These unwelcome guests can easily hitch a ride on the clothes or bodies of travelers and be transported anywhere they go. That being said, whether you\u2019re traveling for work or leisure, it is very important to thoroughly check your hotel room upon arrival for signs of bed bugs, so that you can avoid bringing home an unwanted house guest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the first step of checking for signs of bed bugs in a hotel, you do not even have to be in the actual room yet. Get a jump start during the planning phase of your trip by checking out online reviews of the hotel before you book. If you didn\u2019t have a choice in the location of your stay, you can easily Google your hotel\u2019s name plus bed bugs and see recent reviews pop up. If any search queries do show up, pay attention to the date they were posted because it is very possible that the hotel management may have already eradicated the bed bug infestation issue. Recent reviews mentioning signs of bed bugs might be a red flag to stay away.<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019ve been traveling all day and finally checked into your hotel. You get the keys and open the door, now what do you do? <\/span>Don\u2019t<\/b> immediately unpack.

Grab your phone with a flashlight and a prodding tool such as a pen or credit card and get to work. While you\u2019re looking, <\/span>keep your eyes peeled for <\/span><\/a>small, crawling insects that are about the size of apple seeds. Other signs of bed bugs can include what looks like discarded insect skin, small rusty blood stains, or black dots of fecal matter from the bed bugs.<\/span><\/p>\n Bed bugs are expert hiders, so make sure you check everywhere you can think of, so that you don’t overlook anything.<\/p>\nALWAYS<\/b> Check Online Reviews<\/span><\/h2>\n
