The article advises travelers on precautions against bed bugs in hotels. It highlights the importance of inspecting upholstered items like sheets, mattresses, and headboards. Cautious travelers often avoid placing their luggage on carpets or upholstered surfaces. Some even use plastic trash bags to protect luggage from potential infestations. If bed bugs are discovered, it’s crucial to inform hotel management immediately and consider switching rooms, but avoid adjacent ones to prevent transferring the issue. These tips aim to enhance travelers' comfort and safety while staying in hotels.
They like upholstery - just look at the sheets... just peel back one of the corners of the bed, look at the seams of the mattress.
People who are really cautious... put their suitcase in the bathtub... just not on upholstery... if there are any bed bugs in the room, they won't get into it.
Some people travel with plastic trash bags... put the plastic around it and then put your suitcase on it, because bed bugs don't really hang out on plastic.
If you decide you don't want to leave the hotel but you want to switch rooms, don't move to an adjacent room because that would be likely to have the same problem.
