But when you check into a hotel room look for tell tale signs!
There could be small blood spots on sheets and pillows.
take off the sheets and look at the mattress for small blood stains,then look under the mattress for small black/brownish bits a bit bigger than a pin head.
There can also be a damp mildew smell.
Keep all luggage off the floor as luggage is how they hitch a ride to the next room.
You cant usually see bed bugs as they go hide when you put the light on and hate sunlight.
Bed bugs are usually brought into hotel rooms in peoples luggage and are hard to get rid of!
the room needs to be sprayed and left vacant for up to a week,so many hotels in Bali cant afford to have an empty room for so long!
I spoke to a pest controller last month who said Bed Bugs are becoming quite a problem in Perth too!
It doesnt matter what star hotel you stay in you must check for Bed Bugs!
