Bed Bugs at Hotel !

Sorry that happened to you! One of the first rules of travel is never leave your suitcase on the bed! In fact, if the bathroom is large enough, it's recommended to leave luggage in there. That may not be practical for many though. It's important to follow the tips in the video below even when staying at hotels we think we can trust not to have the problem.

If you happen to bring them home, here's a tip I got from two young men (one with small boys) who encountered the problem in their homes. Spray infested areas with 90% alcohol and if possible wrap the areas. That will kill them. If you don't have a sprayer...buy one; the alcohol doesn't come in spray bottles.

Great tips, Diva, thanks for passing them our way.
 

A dear friend of mine was invited to a wedding in La Pas, Bolivia. She said she always takes one of those sheets that looks like alfoil and puts it on top of the sheets of the bed in case of bed-bugs. She's never had any in all of her travels.

What is that sheet?

I had these once, in my home, several years ago. I had to throw out or wash most of my clothes and linens, buy a new bed, and have the exterminator in. I've figured out where I got them. Never again!

I had them before, bought a bag of Diatomaceous Earth from home depot. Treated my home myself and didn't need to throw anything out. Saved tons of money and never had that problem again. I still keep it around just in case.

Diatomaceous earth is inexpensive magic for eliminating cockroaches and other crawling insects. We always have a sack of it for cleaning the pool filter twice a year.

Good to know your success with it on bedbugs, though I hope to never personally verify it.
