What do I do about bed bugs in hotels as a guest?

At arrival carefully check your room, especially the bed.

Look for dark stains, blood spots or live bed bugs and their remnants on the bed sheets, the mattress-especially its seems, and on other furniture.

Remember to NOT place your luggage on the floor or under or on the bed.

Consider bringing an active trap on your trip. Place it under the mattress or bed, and inspect it before departure to ensure you don’t accidentally bring any bugs home.

Notify the hotel staff if you find any evidence of bed bugs and request a different room, which you should inspect thoroughly!

And remember, depending on which country you are in, you could be entitled to compensation.
