It is known, but widely forgotten that bed bugs are often found within hotels and motels. When you and your family arrive at a hotel in the beginning of your vacation, it can often escape your mind to check your bed for signs of these pests. And if the room does have bed bugs, you may be leaving with more family members than you came with. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is also true for those that travel for business. Often times, they will arrive at the hotel late, drop their bags on their bed, and immediately head out to a meeting that they are already 15 minutes late for without inspecting the bed first. This gives bed bugs the perfect opportunity to hitch a ride on their luggage to the next stop on a business trip or to their home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before beginning your inspection, place your luggage in the bathtub or shower it is dry. You may also place it on the bathroom counter. These areas are less likely to have bed bugs because of their lack of hiding places. <\/span><\/p>\n

Basic Inspection<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Start your basic<\/span> bed bug inspection<\/span><\/a> with the mattress, which is the most common place bed bugs would be hiding. Gently remove the fitted sheet and using your phone flashlight or a small light, check the seams of the four corners of the mattress. If you notice something bed bugs or what looks to be bed bugs, you should switch rooms IMMEDIATELY. <\/span><\/p>\n

After checking the mattress, check other furniture items such as the headboard, luggage rack, couches, and chairs. Carefully check cracks and crevices, as bed bugs are known to seek these small places as their daytime hide outs. <\/span><\/p>\n
