Sleeping in someone else’s bed can leave you coming home with itchy skin. However, bed bugs can be found almost anywhere in an environment. Therefore, these tips may come in handy.
“Before You Even Unpack”
“Corners – of a mattress – are always popular, it’s best to do this when it’s dark with a flashlight, especially on the mattress,” she said.
“Definitely look at the bottom and the top,” adding that all areas at the corners of the bed are critical.
“And while everything is off, come under the covers here… you’re going to check on all the creases here on the bed.
“She [bed bugs] usually like to hang around in the corners and the folds. Also, make sure there is a mattress topper.”

In a follow-up video, Halee explained that if you find yourself in a bed bug situation at your hotel, you should “document everything” and then request a new room on the “other side of the hotel.”
One user asked, “If there are bed bugs in one room, will they be in another room, should you leave the hotel or change rooms?”
And the travel expert said, “I wouldn’t take a room in the same hall and thoroughly inspect the next room I get.”
Many people thanked Halee for her advice in the comments.
“Bed bugs are literally my worst nightmare,” one person said. “Yep, I’ll put my luggage in the bathtub and check the beds and furniture! I’m terrified of bed bugs,” wrote another.
Another user also gave a tip: “I always check the AC filter. I have bad dust allergies so that’s always an option.”
You can apply these tips to your own home too, bed bugs are “friendly” visitors and will get “into your blood real quick”!
