Great article nobugs! Good points nomo! Yes. You would think they’d soon realize how cost effective it would be to do proper inspections. Why not consider doing them monthly? GOOOOD ones! I am hoping they will soon start washing all of the sheets and coverings in these beds too:

Common … what is an extra $10 bucks, in labor, and detergent costs, when compared to; a deserted hotel save a bunch of hungry bed bugs still laying eggs on bad press releases and on stacks of those manila envelopes court-orders and law suits so often come in by hand delivery.

Why does it always seem to be a Hilton? The judge should have sentenced Paris to stay in one of these rooms for a week instead of prison.

I wonder if this can happen in a hotel that does regular professional bedbug inspections. I think about hotel stories where there are a lot of bugs clearly visible and around. Yes, we know bedbug populations can rise rapidly, but if the hotel has an inspection and prevention program, it seems to me that it would not be possible to encounter such large numbers. Are they migrating from treated rooms to untreated rooms?

I don’t understand why hotels don’t have regular inspections. I mean, we know about the deny-they-are-bedbugs public relations policy, but not having a real bedbug control protocol seems so stupid. I’m sure they’ve all heard of bedbugs by now.
