When you travel to a new place, there’s always a few things that can cause uncertainty. I mean, you don’t know the area, and you’ll probably be staying somewhere new. One of those worrisome things has to do with bed bugs. It’s bad enough when you’re just worried about your family having bed bugs at home, but hotels have so many strangers coming and going, it doesn’t seem like a good idea. According to BedbugReportsInHotels website you should look for clues that the hotel or motel is clean and less likely to have bedbugs. Have you ever stayed in a hotel and thought that something was biting you? Or maybe you saw funky brown stains on your sheets, and thought that someone had spilled their Chai Latte. I’ve been there too. But what if those little guys were not Chai Latte stains, but actually creepy crawlies on the hunt for human blood? Yeah, you don’t want to think about it — especially before bedtime. I know we’re all busy people, so I’ve taken out scholarship from the time-consuming research to bring you this comprehensive top 10 list of bed bug reports in hotels.
Bed Bug Reports In Hotels
Introduction
Bed bugs are a growing problem in hotels. These insects can arrive on your luggage and cause painful, itchy bites. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, check out our list of bed bug reports before deciding where to stay.
Hotel Bellair
Bedbugs are small insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They have flat bodies, 6 legs, and can be as big as a ladybug (approximately 5 mm). The name “bedbug” comes from the common practice of hiding in bedding and mattresses; however they will also hide in furniture and walls. Bedbugs do not transmit diseases to people but their bites can cause itchy welts and allergic reactions.
Bedbugs often hide in cracks or behind baseboards, especially if recently used by someone who has been bitten by them before. If you see bedbugs in your hotel room or on the floor around it, report this immediately to your hotel staff so that they can treat for them with an insecticide spray like Hotels’ Choice™ Bed Bug Killer!
