TikToker shares how to check hotel room for bed bugs<\/h3>\n

When you arrive at a hotel and get shown into your room your first thought is probably not what creepy crawlies might be lurking in corners.<\/p>\n

But one hotel worker has explained why whenever staying somewhere new, it is the first thing you should look for.<\/p>\n

Halee, who shares videos on her TikTok as @haleewithaflair, explained that bedbugs can ruin many guests’ stays and that there’s an easy way to look for them before your first night’s sleep.<\/p>\n

It involves turning the lights off – which probably isn’t the first thing you’d think to do when arriving at a hotel all excited about your holiday.<\/p>\n

Halee posted a video after seeing one of a couple who woke up covered in scars after being bitten by hotel bedbugs.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThis is how I check my room before I unpack and get settled into the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing you\u2019re going to want to do is make sure your room is dark. Turn off lights, close any shades and use the flashlight on your phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile everything is off, you\u2019re going to come up here under the covers. This one does have a mattress pad but you\u2019re going to check under all the creases.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Halee demonstrated how tourists should check under the creases at the corner of their hotel bed.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThey usually like to hang out in the corners and the creases.\u201d<\/p>\n

She lifted the mattress to show how tourists should check under the mattress and under the mattress pad.<\/p>\n

The hotel worker warned: \u201cEven if you don\u2019t see bugs, make sure you check for spots, like blood spots, because that\u2019s not a good sign either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halee recommended that tourists check for bed bugs before they unpack as bugs can slip into luggage.<\/p>\n

Tourists should never put their luggage on the bed. It\u2019s best to leave it on a luggage rack or by the door of the room.<\/p>\n

Some experts recommend tourists wash all their holiday clothes as soon as they get home to kill any stowaways.<\/p>\n

The hotel worker also recommended that tourists check ironing boards and curtains for the bugs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bed bugs are nocturnal so turning off the lights may make them more likely to come out to search for prey.<\/p>\n

Bedbug bites can be red and itchy and are often in a line or a cluster. Some people may have an allergic reaction to the bites.<\/p>\n

The bugs can be dark yellow, red or brown and generally only about 5mm long while eggs are usually white in colour.<\/p>\n

If tourists can\u2019t see the bugs, they can look for red or rusty stains on the mattress which could be a squashed bug.<\/p>\n

Dark spots could be bedbug excrement and may bleed onto the fabric like a marker pen would.<\/p>\n

Bed bugs tend to hide in the seams of furniture including on any chairs and sofas that may be in the room.<\/p>\n

The bugs can survive at low temperatures but will die when their body reaches 45 degrees.<\/p>\n

Holidaymakers should inform their hotel immediately if they find any signs of bedbugs in their room.<\/p>\n
