How hotel guests can battle bedbugs

Experts say bedbugs can be found almost anywhere. Even the nicest hotels can become infested with the critters, which can go undetected for months because guests only stay for short periods. They advise the following precautions for hotel guests:

• Take sheets and blankets off the bed and inspect the mattress. If there are any brown or red spots, they might be blood or excrement from bedbugs.
• Look behind picture frames and around furniture. Bedbugs like small, dark crevices often found in wood.
• Don't place luggage on the floor or near a bed. Hotels often provide luggage racks and hangers.
• Wash all clothing after a trip. Hot water will usually kill any bedbugs.
