Sleeptight Bedbug Guide

If you are a frequent traveler or have frequent visitors, an uncluttered home and special treatment of luggage will be critical. Some advice when traveling:

  1. Choose luggage that can easily be wiped down with alcohol.

  2. In hotel rooms, put your luggage on the rack and away from the bed and other furnishings. Most hotels have large plastic bags for sending out dry cleaning; slip that over your suitcase when you are not using it. Do not put you clothes on the floor or use the dressers. Put dirty clothes in a plastic bag inside your luggage.

  3. Inspect your hotel bed. Pull back the mattress covers until you can see the mattress corners and look for the dark fecal spots. Take a flashlight with you and look at the crevices of the headboard. If everything looks OK, but you wish to be more secure, drape a sheet over the headboard so that it is between the headboard and the mattress.

Maybe being in this business makes us a little paranoid, but if you've ever had bedbugs, a little focused paranoia may serve you well.
