Bed Bugs in hotels?
Are hotels protected from the perils of bed bugs? The last thing you want to
worry about while on your next vacation are bed bugs. Can you imagine the horror
one experiences when they wake up in the morning to see welts forming on their
arms and legs? How disgusting would it be for you to turn over your mattress and
see dozens of bed bugs burrowed in the seams of your hotel mattress? You had no
clue that you shared your bed with these vile insects. While you slept in what
you thought was peaceful slumber, these hideous bugs were sucking your blood
like little vampires. How can you be certain your hotel is free of bed bugs?
More and more hotels are becoming infested with bed bugs and various other
creepy insects. Hotels are ideal habitats for bed bugs. Our country offers some
of the cleanest hotels in the world. International tourists come into our
country and stay at our hotels and their native country may not have the same
high standards as we do. Also, American citizens fly overseas and stay in
hotels. When we come home we may bring bed bugs back with us as a souvenir.
Bed bugs don’t care if the room they are breeding in is from a one or five star
hotel. Sure, being clean can help, but it does not take you off the bed bug
target list. Top rate hotels committed to customer satisfaction will thoroughly
clean a room once hotel guests have left. If bed bugs were to be discovered,
immediate action would be taken to eliminate the problem, like using an all
natural product containing diatomaceous earth. Hotel management realizes that if
word gets around that their hotel has bed bugs, the news could destroy their
hotel’s reputation.
This doesn’t mean that if you stay in a five star resort there is no chance that
your room will have bed bugs, but the likelihood will not be as high as if you
were to spend the night in a one star dive that doesn’t practice proper sanitary
precautions. Your best defense is to look over your hotel room as soon as you
check in, paying particular attention to the mattress you are about to sleep on.
