Bed Bugs Travelers Handbook: Protecting yourself from bed bug hitchhikers when you travel (The Bed Bug Chronicles Part 11) (Volume 11)

Bed Bugs are becoming increasingly prevalent in all parts of the world and are not going any anytime soon. One thing that can certainly ruin your business trip or vacation is being bit by or bringing home bed bugs. We developed this handy, resource guide on awareness and prevention of bed bugs when you travel. Learn how to recognize if bed bugs are present in locations you may be traveling to and from and how to prevent from bringing them home with you. In order to help reduce the likelihood of residing in a bed bug infested environment and to reduce the possibility of bringing them home with you to infesting your own dwelling, there are several things you can do and be aware of to help prevent this from happening. Now days more hotels are starting to develop pro-active preventative protocols for bed bugs instead of being reactive when after a customer complains. They are starting to train their staff to do daily inspections, installing bed bug monitors and mattress encasements. Some even have bed bug detection dogs come in on a regular basis to catch bed bugs in early stages to help assure their guests of a bed bug free and pleasant stay. The hotels don’t want bed bugs any more than you do and it seriously affects their return on investment because of the cost of elimination and possible law suits. Remember, it isn’t the hotel management that is bringing bed bugs to the hotel, it is people just like you and me. The fact remains that even you can pick up a hitchhiker while on the way to your destination from the plane, limo, taxi or previous hotel stay. So be careful of the finger you point and what direction you are pointing it. This book is a must for anyone who travels anywhere!
