Arriving at your fresh hotel room after a long trip can feel like the weight of an elephant has been lifted off your back. Ready to start an adventure or vacation after a little rest, it’s tempting to plop yourself down on the bed and nap. Or open your suitcase and unpack everything so decide on an evening outfit.
The bad news is, these are all things you shouldn’t do if you want to avoid bed buds. To avoid the bloodsucking nightmare that can ruin a trip and your return home, watch this video where I show you how to properly check a hotel room for bed buds.
Some Tips
- Keep your bags as far away from the bed as possible, preferably in the bathroom during your inspection.
- Keep your clothes in your zipped bags until you actually need to get stuff out of them.
- Use darkness to your advantage and make sure to check out the entire mattress.
- A thorough check should take you about 10-15 minutes.
