Inspecting Your Hotel Room For Bed Bugs (.pdf)

When staying in a hotel it is a good idea to inspect your room for bed bugs as soon as you arrive. You do not want to unpack or settle in until you have checked to see if there are bed bugs in your room.

Bring a small flashlight with you when going to stay at a hotel; this will make it easier to inspect your room. As soon as you arrive, keep your suitcase on the floor away from the bed or place it in the bathroom. These areas are less likely to have bed bugs. Never put your suitcase, clothes or personal items on the bed as this is the most common way to get bed bugs in your possessions and transfer them to your home.

Start your inspection with the mattress, as this is the most common area for bed bugs. Gently remove the sheet and mattress pad inspecting the four corners of the mattress and box spring.

Another important place to inspect for bed bugs that is often overlooked is the luggage rack or valet. Inspect carefully, concentrating on cracks and crevices. Bed bugs maybe found on the luggage rack if they have come in on other travelers luggage.

If you want to do a more in-depth inspection of your room we recommend the following.

Inspect along the edging, seams and other small areas of the mattress and box spring. Continue your inspection with the headboard. In most hotels the headboard is attached to the wall. Use your flashlight to look in the crack between the wall and the headboard.

Next inspect the furniture around the bed, and any pictures hanging on the wall. Bed bugs are known to hide behind framed pictures and around or on furniture. Make sure you inspect all the cracks and crevices of the night stand, including screw holes, joints and in the drawers. Once you have insured that these areas do not have bed bugs move on to other furniture in the room, especially upholstered chairs. As you are inspecting pay special attention to the seams.

If you find bed bugs in your hotel room notify the front desk immediately and ask to be moved to a new room, which is not next door to the room where you found bed bugs.

When staying in a hotel it is a good idea to bring along a large plastic bag to put your dirty clothes into. Bed bugs can smell the chemical that we leave behind on our clothing and are attracted to this smell. Putting dirty clothing into a plastic bag will reduce the chance that you will get bed bugs on these items, and then bring them home with you.

If you stay in a hotel room and are worried about bed bugs take these precautions when you return home to reduce the risk of bringing bed bugs into your home.

Cimex lectularius, AKA- BedBugs, are cryptic, nocturnal, blood-sucking pests that are very difficult to control with Do-It-Yourself measures. They are skilled hitchhikers and are easily picked up from just about any public place.

Bed bugs are found today in hotels, apartments, dorm rooms, delivery vehicles, dry cleaners, jails, hospitals, churches, cruise ships, furniture rental stores and private homes.

These tiny creatures wreak havoc on homeowners and facility managers when an infestation has set in. Although they do not transmit disease victims report:

Red, itchy, raised welts on the skin

Sleeplessness

Emotional stress and anxiety

Bama Exterminating Thermal Remediation For Getting Rid Of BedBugs

Thermal Remediation (Heat Treatment) is a superior solution to eliminate bed bug infestations in both commercial and residential buildings. This non-chemical, non-toxic approach penetrates wall cavities, mattresses and other hard to reach locations to kill bed bugs.

By applying heat evenly throughout a structure, we are able to kill bedbugs wherever they are hiding, something many other pest controlservice providerscannot achieve in a single treatment. Professional Thermal Remediation from Bama Exterminating will kill all of the growth stages of the bed bug including the eggs. This is an important fact given that not all current pesticide control methodologies kill bedbug eggs. This means that oftentimes Thermal Remediation can eradicate the entire bedbug population in a single treatment.

Bama Exterminating also provides conventionalextermination options such as liquid application and fumigationfor getting rid of bed bugs for areas where thermal remediation is not ideal.

The technicians at Bama Exterminating did a thorough home inspection, then educated us on the pest control options available to us. After trying numerous do-it-yourself bed bug removal treatments and professional chemical treatments by other extermination companies that didnt work, we ended up calling them and using their new Heat Treatment system to get rid of bed bugs in our condo.
