On a Holiday trip you think of everything but bedbug precautions. Follow these steps to keep your family clear of bedbugs while traveling.
ALWAYS! Check Your Hotel Room Well...
When you first enter your hotel room before you get comfortable CHECK YOUR ROOM! Until the room has been completely checked make sure that you leave all of your luggage on the bathroom tile. When inspecting you should have good lighting. Look closely at the seams of the mattress and all bedding. You will be looking to see if you see something that looks like pepper on the sheets and crevices. It would always be a good idea to check anything within 15 ft that is soft.
Protect Your Luggage....
Even though you have inspected the room, bedbugs can still crawl over from neighboring rooms or the cleaning carts. Keep your luggage off the bed, couch, and floor if not tiled. Store it on the luggage rack or shelve. A good rule of thumb if you wanna be extra cautious always bring plastic bags to seal them in.
When Returning....
Upon returning home before bringing your luggage in check it all. Take precaution and very carefully examine the outside of your suitcases as well as everything it contains. Once bedbugs enter your home, it can be very hard to get them out.
