Bed bugs make any renowned hotel property a nightmare for visitors. Bed bug bites create itching, allergies and rashes on human bodies. Unfortunately, these bugs feast on humans at night.

‘Khatmal’ or bed bugs as they are commonly referred to, are prone to hitchhiking from one location to another with ease. If this is not enough, then imagine the presence of a pregnant bed bug that is capable enough to fill your premises with unwanted pests with a high birth rate. We are sure, all the hotel owners or managers would not like their guests to carry bed bugs as souvenirs from their hotels.

The problem of Bed Bugs is Real

Bed bugs travel usually through luggage. While it’s normal to unpack your suitcase as soon as you check in to your hotel room, this is a major mistake. The longer you keep your belongings in an infested environment, the higher will be the chances of bugs sneaking inside your luggage. Before you let your luggage touch the ground, bed, or other furniture, you’ll need to check for bed bugs.

How does Bed Bug Travel from Hotel to Home?

● Bed bugs stay hidden in the ...
... nooks and corners of the bed mattress. As soon as your guest arrives and starts opening their language in their rooms, bed rugs will conveniently hide in bags and cloth linings.
● Apart from hiding in the clothes, bed bugs use your guests as their carriers.

Bed Bug Hiding Places

Bed bugs have some favourite hiding spaces. Bed bugs hide in the smallest spots like bed frames, headboards, linens, box springs, and mattresses. In the case of severe infestations, bed bugs may take over the room walls too. In addition, they hide in electrical appliances, wallpapers, curtain holders etc.

What are the Signs of Bed Bugs?

● Look for the droppings of the bed bugs. You may get bug droppings on mattresses, behind headboards, bed frames etc. Pest droppings are generally found in darker places, so instruct your housekeeping staff to give extra care while checking dark areas. Apart from droppings, you may also find bug egg shells near dropping areas.
● Checking bed sheets is again a good way to check the presence of bed bugs. If you find slight blood smears on bedsheets, it can be due to bed bugs. These blood smears will be reddish and brown in colour.
