I continue to see stories that absolutely state that bedbugs live in beds and mattresses and while they might it is important to remember that they will hide anywhere. The scary part in this whole mix is that people generally believe eveything they read on the Internet and some of it is true but it is important to do more homework on the situation. Bedbugs are making a huge comeback and I read today that NBC news survey found that 1 in 4 hotel rooms are now infested with bedbugs and that all 50 states have reported bedbug incidents.

Bedbugs can and do live on beds and mattresses but that isn’t the only place. Check the entire room and don;t place luggage on dressers or beds. Read this article from NYC on bedbugs from February link. 95% of Pest Operators across the United States are reporting cases of bedbugs. Check out this article on Alabama being #1 in U.S. for bugs link. So if you travel take precautions and be safe.
