Worried About Bed Bugs?

A recent TripAdvisor poll says that a majority (80 percent) of travelers worry about bed bugs, while only eight percent have actually come across them. So, it's statistically much more likely that you'll experience one of the other common guest complaints, like an uncomfortable bed, a dirty room, rude or indifferent staff or a worn-out room. What do these nasty little creatures give travelers nightmares?

Just the thought of tiny bugs crawling over you, sucking your blood while you sleep, might be bad enough. But these pests hitch a ride home in your luggage, and once they take up residence in your home, refuse to leave. Learn how to recognize and avoid bed bugs and see what bed bug bites look like.
