If you happen to stay in a hotel room that has bed bugs you may not even know about it until you have returned home and by then there is a good chance you will have also brought some bed bugs back with you also in your clothes or luggage.

So what can be done about bed bugs if you’re staying in hotels? One very good site to check out is http://bedbugregistry.com/ This site keeps tabs on any hotels in the United States that have reported bed bug infestations.

Once you get to the hotel check around the bed for signs of bed bug infestation such as the bugs themselves or their shed skin. Check the mattress, the box spring and the headboard area.

You could take some bed bug spray to the hotel with and use it on the bed before you go to sleep. You could also take some double sided black tape with you and stick it to the sides of the bed so the bed bugs will become trapped.

When you get back from your trip but your clothes that you took with you straight in the washing machine and give your luggage a very good clean.
