My friends, are you planning a stay at a hotel during the holidays or for business?
Find out if BEDBUGS are waiting to feast on you and your family BEFORE you check-in.
Look up your hotel, apartment, college/university, resort, cruise ship or just check out whats going on in your town.

We are headed out to Colorado for some skiing this Christmas. This situation did cross my mind. I have not heard any reports of the bedbugs being out west but I guess I should find out. My wife would freak out if we were in an insect infested place. Especially something like bedbugs.

the best thing to do is bring your own sheets. bugs are very nasty to get rid of

A friend of mine stayed at a Westin hotel (these are the nice upscale 5 star hotels) for a conference and her room was infested with bed bugs. How did she know? The next morning when she woke up she was literally covered in bites. The photos she took of herself as documentation were gross and can you believe after she complained and showed them her bites that they told her she must have brought them into the room!!!

i only learned bedbugs were for real in the last few years.i remember when i was little,my parents always said good night,sleep tight,don't let the bedbugs bite.i always thought they were just kidding.

The problem with bringing your own sheets is that you stand the chance of bringing them (bugs) home with you. That and your own sheets aren't going to help you much if the room is infested.
I read once that is how most bedbugs get in your home is hitch hiking from infested hotels. They are vary hard to get rid of. Immune to most pesticides or methods to kill them.
