They can infest even very fancy hotels.
I’m a frequent traveler, making my way around the world for work, fun, and adventure. I didn’t really think about the nightmarish possibility of accidentally bringing home pests until a few years ago, when I found a cockroach in a Washington hotel room. I was pretty grossed out and annoyed. After I caught the roach, trapping it beneath a glass, I spent way too much time researching whether or not a roach could hitch a ride home in my luggage.
After I read interviews with and articles by entomologists and exterminators, my fear of bringing a cockroach home was replaced with a new nightmare: accidentally bringing home bedbugs. According to a study done by Orkin, a pest-control company,had dealt with bedbugs in 2017. I have no idea how reliable that is, but yikes! And at this very moment, Paris is, according to the news, “, I have learned that, luckily, there are ways to avoid bringing the blood-eating creeps home from a hotel.
So, whenever I get to a new hotel and I want to make sure the little suckers don’t get any ideas about hitching a ride, I pick up my luggage the moment I walk into the room and place it straight in the bathtub. I then do a quick check of the mattress and all other furniture in the room. If I don’t see anything that looks bedbuggy, I bring the suitcase out of the tub.
I’m headed to Europe in a few weeks, in the midst of what might become the bedbug infestation of the century. But I’m not worried. I checked: My hotel room has a bathtub. I’ll keep my suitcase in there until it’s time to go
