Many travelers worry that they are going to either sleep in a hotel or cruise ship room that is infested with bed bugs. Bed bugs have even been reported in public transportation, with reported incidents in Australia and Europe. Hotels probably are the most likely place you will find bed bugs, just based on the number of hotels around the world. Reports on cruise ships are infrequent, but possible.
Here are our bed bug travel tips to help avoid sleeping in a room that has been infested and how to avoid accidentally bringing them home. Traveling without bedbugs doesn't have to be hard.
* When traveling, only bring clothes that can be washed when you get home. Select clothes which can be laundered in hot water and withstand 20 to 30 minutes in the dryer.
* Consider using luggage that doesn't have outside seams, such as hard sided luggage. Bed bugs will try and hide in crevices on the luggage and like to lay eggs on rough surfaces.
* Don't place your luggage inside the hotel room until you inspect the room for bed bugs.
* When entering the room place luggage on racks and away from the floor and if possible at least 10 feet away from the bed. Most bedbugs will be near the bed.
* Keep clothes in the luggage, not hotel room drawers.
* Zip or close luggage after it is opened so that nothing can crawl inside.
