I booked a room a day ahead while traveling for work, but as soon as I spotted a live bed bug on the mattress, I was out. I hadn’t brought anything in yet because I always check first. I pulled back the sheet at the mattress edge, saw the little pale, dirty off-white eggs, and then the bug right along the side. I’ve dealt with a bed bug nightmare at home before, and it took about six months and roughly $6,000 to get rid of them. That didn’t include new mattresses, pulling up carpet, putting in new hard flooring, or all the labor and time I spent. Look into bed bugs before staying somewhere, and check before bringing your things into the room. You do not want them in your home.
