Many of our Gunter employees like to explore the world, but we never forget to keep an eye out for one of nature’s peskiest travelers, the bed bugs. Learn how to keep from getting bed bugs while traveling.
Catie is off to visit Spain this week and wanted to share a few tricks she’s learned about avoiding bed bugs while traveling.
Here’s the list of Top Five Travel Tips to Ensure you Avoid Bed bugs While Traveling
-
Bed bugs can be on your flight. Check the chair to make sure nothing is moving and also double check the blanket and pillow were securely wrapped up and cleaned.
-
Check your hotel room before you bring your bags in. You should look at the chairs, around the baseboards, and obviously the bed. Pull back sheets and check closely around the headboard to ensure you are staying in a cleanroom that is bedbug-free.
-
Alert the front desk and request a room change if you feel things are not up to par!
-
Remember that bed bugs do not discriminate! They could stay at the Five Star Hotel in Paris or a roadside motel in the middle of nowhere.
-
Don’t let the fear of getting bed bugs to stop you from traveling!
