Bed Bugs in Hotels and Motels
  
There are an increasing number of complaints from travellers about bed bugs in the hotels they stayed.
The number one carrier of bed bugs in hotels is the mattress. This should not be a surprise, as bed bugs are known to lurk in the bed, hence the name “bed bug.”
The increasing number of travellers and immigrants staying in hotels and other establishments - unknowingly leaving an unwanted souvenir behind – is blamed for the reoccurrence of bed bugs. Just one female bed bug can produce five eggs a day and could leave three generations of bed bugs in hotels.
One cause for concern regarding the bed bugs in hotels is that they just don’t flourish in cheap, musty motels. Even the expensive ones are being infested. Establishments are losing money fast with court appearances for cases filed by unsatisfied patrons.
The bed bugs in hotels are the same bed bugs that invade our homes. They are small, nasty, brownish, round and flat insects that closely resemble a tick. These insects don’t care where they live as long it is a warm place where they can breed and it is near their food source – people.
  
Bed bugs are patient insects. They can live up to a year without a blood meal. Their size makes it hard for people to see them. Their victims don’t even feel their bites until it is too late. Bed bugs feed by piercing the skin with its elongated beak and they inject a small amount of anaesthesia-like substance that makes them undetectable. The only sign you’ve been visited by a bed bug is if you have an itchy, swelling welt the next day.
The bed bugs in hotels are becoming a nuisance for the management. It tarnishes their reputation and leaves a bad impression on the customer. It is their duty to provide good service and a clean environment, free from bed bugs. In case of an infestation they should immediately call in the pest control experts to remedy the situation.
