Bring a plastic mattress cover to encase the mattress, bring own linen.
Leave nothing on the foor.
When you get home..wah all clothes rightaway.
Put your luggage in a sealed trash bag and leav it in the sun for a few days.
Never letkids bring their stuffed friends to hotels. never know what attaches to them.
Ask at hotel if there has been a problem there with bedbugs.
If it is a Chain call the headquarters ask about the bug situation in the ne yu will be in, Ask about the cleanliness ratings. (AAA has a lot of nfo like that.
I did a lot of rsearch and talked to exterminators whenDD and friends had a great problem in their dorm room. After many tries to clear it and many months being seperated from their friends, an th room sealed for weeks on end, they moved back together to the same problem. The bugs were in side the wall. The college promised to rid the nest and to seal that room for a year. So no other girl would go through that/
