Leave immediately, we repeat, leave immediately.
Summer holiday season is upon us, and whether you’re holidaying in an Air BNB, hostel or fancy resort hotel, there’s probably one thing you want to steer clear of. We’re talking bedbugs., hotels are the third most common place where bed bugs are found, with pest removal professionals ranking them at 75% most common.are helping holiday-making Brits identify whether or not their hotel rooms could be infested with bed bugs.
Unfortunately, the tiny creatures don’t just reside in the mattresses and covers but in carpets and other upholstery, too.Nic Shacklock from Online-Bedrooms recommends checking both your bed and room on arrival and making sure it’s clean. He says, “There are a few telltale signs to look out for that can indicate there are some bed bugs lurking around your room. If you do notice things like dark patches on the wall and blood spots on the sheets then be sure to take this up with the hotel manager right away.”When the bugs get squashed they release a lot of blood, especially around the seams of mattresses – which is where they tend to hide.
These spots can start to look a rusty colour the longer they have been there, so ensure both sides of the mattress are free from any blood stains before hitting the hay.It may sound obvious that spotting eggs would be a telltale sign of a bug infestation but they’re not always hiding in plain sight. The eggs are tiny and can be found in numerous places, not just on the mattress.
They’re about 1mm wide and are often a pale yellow colour. If you find any of these eggs, it could mean the bed bugs are still alive and should be reported immediately.You might have been to a hotel that smells a little strange before but the odour excreted by bed bugs is… noticeable, shall we say. If the bedroom area has a strong, musty and unpleasant odour this could possibly come from a bed bug’s scent glands. It’s strongest when there are large amounts of bugs present.
