When you’re planning for a trip, you want to keep surprises to a minimum. And that includes bed bugs.
Before you even bring your luggage into your room, you’ll want to do an inspection of the area. All you really need is a critical eye but having a flashlight can also help. Look around the mattress, box spring, and headboard. Then look at the seams along any other upholstery in the room. Check the base boards and around any electrical outlets. If you notice anything fishy be sure to take a picture, or put any specimens in a container for positive identification.
