Bed bugs do travel with people, though not just with hotel guests.

Are you suggesting that every single guest who visited the motel brought his/her bed bugs in? Of course this is unlikely. You can’t simply blame the guests as a population. If that’s going to be the attitude, why try and rent out rooms at all?

Bedbugs must been brought from gests to the room(s). We cannot condemn the motel management for the bedbugs. But as mentioned earlier, they need to be treated correctly once they found. Here are the tips to treat them. 1. Quarantine the room 2. Treat with proper insecticide other methods until there is not bedbug activity found. Learn where they are a. Remove spring box and mattress if they are too many and breading on or around the bed usually in gaps or cracks. b. Hand picking is necessary in some cases using masking tape c. If they are hiding in spring box or frame use Clorox. e. Spray effective insecticide – I use Suspend SC from Bayer (you cannot find these kind from local stores) Bedbugs are not easy to treat.
