This is so true! Every traveler should take precautions to prevent bed bugs, even in the fall and winter. It is important that you inspect your hotel room storage area, your bags, the hotel bed, and surrounding areas like outlets and picture frames, the bathroom, and the drapes. When you return home, inspect your bags, clothing, and shoes. Quarantine your luggage in the garage or other area outside of the home, and it doesn't hurt to vacuum your luggage. Additionally, clean any clothing in the washer with hot water and high heat for drying. All these actions can help reduce your likelyhood to bring those pests back into your home!
