Upon entering your hotel room, place your luggage in the bath tub.

Make sure you pull down the covers and double check for stray hair and um.. Unexpected visits. That's right! Bed bugs! Lift up the mattress near the head of the bed as well and check the seams. You are looking for dirt, bugs, white eggs, they look like a sesame seed.

When coming home, place your belongings in the dryer immediately. Anything above 120 degrees kills bed bugs. Simply washing them, will not kill them!
