I recently read this attached article, then sent it to people I know who commonly travel as part of their business profile.  Their replies ranged from “unaware” to “how could it affect” them.  The fact is that bed bugs are “freeloading” guests  at hotels which can easily be transported by suitcases from location to location and even back to homes.  Many people assume that if they aren’t bit that their rooms are free of these pests.   The truth is that they can actually live up to six months without a host to feed off of them.

Whether you are a frequent or first time traveler, please check this link and request that the places you visit show you what protocol they use to eliminate bed bugs from their hotel rooms.  It is documented that the only way to fully rid  these bugs from rooms is by heating the designated areas up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 to 6 hours.
