Spent nine nights at the hotel in December 2012. Noticed two bites during our stay and wasn't concerned. We came back home, unpacked everything and the next day, I found 12 bites on me, realized they were bed bug bites and called the hotel. They said they would let the current guests in the room check out and then send an inspector in to check the room and get back to me by this coming weekend. However, one day later (today), we are noticing my husband's back full of bites and a bunch on his ar

ms as well. I can write again once I get their response, but think it's good for guests of the hotel to be able to see this report.

Woke up on July 6 to find several bed bugs under my pillow. I reported this to the front desk and spoke to the manager before checking out. He later called and confirmed the infestation. He also sent me a two night stay voucher for a future stay which I thought was very nice. The bug bites did not really appear for a couple of days but have been horrible this last week.

Do it yourself: How to control, fight and kill bed bugs

Posted on February 12, 2015 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

I got rid of mine by doing what I describe below.

WARNING :: WARNING :: WARNING Do NOT follow my advice if you have small children, pets or respiratory conditions such as asthma!

Following my advice will cost you less than $20. But it's not me you have to pay your money to. Although I wouldn't mind a donation if this web page helped you to got rid of your bed bugs.

You probably need to buy items from home improvement stores (in Canada you'll find stores like Home Depot, Rona, Canadian Tire. Here some stores in the US...). It will take about a month until so see real improvement, so please be patient. You should also only follow my advice if you have no pets. People with respiratory conditions such as asthma might also want to not try this.

Otherwise: Do it yourself and get rid of the infestation - be your own pest control.

You cannot usually see where bed bugs hide. That is the main problem. Although you can see bed bugs themselves (they come in sizes like an apple seed or smaller and dark, but younger bugs are yellow-ish, almost transparent and very small and thus not easily visible with the naked eye. They know well where to hide. They usually come out at night when you sleep and suck blood out of you, which you usually won't notice. Then they hide again. Even if you wake up they will notice it and run off, even alerting others to also flee. Out of reach again. They are attracted by CO2 emissions by the breath of humans or animals.

According to Wikipedia bedbugs can tolerate temperatures above of 112F(44C) and below 6.8F(-14C). Hot water steam applied to parts of your bed might kill off most or even all of them. Freezing is supposed to only help if you can expose items you suspect bed bugs in to the extreme cold for several days.

Bed bugs are no risk to your health, unless you develop symptoms against the bites. That is because they usually stay with the same host. That is you.

I was about to call an exterminator. But that would have been costly. Plus since other apartments in the building had bed bugs too the PCO had to also clear those. And although it might be the duty of the landlord to deal with this (payment, making appointments...) he seemed to not care. So I thought to first try DIY to fight the bed bugs myself.

A March 15, 2011 memorandum from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Chicago Region suggests that responsibility for bed bug treatment lies with the landlord. Highlights of the March 15, 2011 memo include the following:

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can be transported to your home from literally any place and by anyone that has been in contact with the pest.

Bed bugs can be introduced to a property by simply hitchhiking on the clothing or belongings of residents or visitors.

Bed bugs could be introduced to a property by the landlord, landlords employees, maintenance personnel, contractors, vendors, government representatives, or anyone who has or had access to a property.

No one is immune from transporting these pests from one location to another.

Bed bugs are not linked to poor sanitation or poor housekeeping.

It is virtually impossible to prove fault with regard to who may have created the bed bug infestation within a property.

Residents should not bear the sole burden regarding the introduction of bed bugs to a property.

Landlord polices should be reasonable and should not penalize tenants because they discovered and reported bed bugs within their unit.

When tenants report that they have bed bugs in their unit, landlords first should inspect the unit and confirm that the pest is in fact bed bugs, and if so, should immediately begin to treat the problem.

When you think about the risks of traveling, injury, theft and illness usually come to mind. However, one risk that you might not consider is the possibility of picking up a bed bug infestation while away. Bed bugs don't travel directly on people's skin but they can attach themselves to clothing or hide in luggage. Once they have found a suitable place to hide, they will come out at night to feed on their host's blood while they sleep.

Avoid Hitchhiking Bed Bugs When Traveling

Posted on February 12, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

OKLAHOMA CITY -

Don't let the bed bugs bite, isn't just a goodnight expression, it can prove to be true - especially for travelers. However, there are some steps you can take to avoid taking home an unwanted souvenir.

"We paid for the three rooms," said Michael Crawford, of Chicago.

Crawford works for Technology Solutions, Inc. and traveled to Oklahoma for work last fall. He booked several rooms for his crew at the Biltmore Hotel but says he didn't stay.

"The top blanket had blood spots on the top," he said. "We pulled it back to see what the linen looked like on the top of the bed and you can notice that the bugs were crawling on top of the bed."

He captured the first sign of these unwanted guests on video and showed it to the hotel manager.

"We shut that room down and we shut both rooms down on either side of it and we treat it several times," said Billie Sadorra with the Biltmore Hotel.

Sadorra said they get complaints about bed bugs from time to time and says they take every complaint seriously.

"People do bring things like that in, but the majority of it the people that call us and tell us that they think that's what's in the room, it's typically not that, but it doesn't stop us, we still shut that room down," Sadorra said. "We've been working closely with the health department."

Carmen Pando is a health inspector with the Oklahoma City County Health Department. She is assigned to the Biltmore and several other hotels here in the metro and says no hotel is immune to bed bugs.
