Good point
If I were going to use the closet, I'd be getting some of those hanging space bags and put everything in them and then hand them up...take this from someone who brought bedbugs back for DW a few years back...you can NEVER be too careful.
Dang I wish there was a spray.
Oldest DS back home from a road trip out west. (Loved BC!!)
DS stayed in very low budget places, so when I told him to leave his stuff on the driveway, he thought I was over doing it..... He didn't see any bed bugs but I'm scared there maybe a few hitch hikers.
I put the clothes in garbage bags - straight into a hot wash. (Hope I don't shrink everything )
What should I do with the suitcase? Actually it's mine & was planning on using this for my trip. Of course there is a sleeping bag that I can't wash.
Throw it out? This bed bug problem is really annoying.

Thanks!
This may be a weird question, but I am traveling soon and I wondered about bedbugs and books. I always read in bed--with the book laying on the bed and then put it on the bedside table. Do you think that is a problem? I am going to follow all the other precautions that posters have recommended. Thanks!
Any thoughts? Thank you!
For folks who check the mattress in their room, how do you do it?
I always peel back the fitted sheet on the corner I sleep on, revealing about 12" of mattress. I've never seen anything. (Knock wood). Now I feel like I should be stripping the bed and lifting the mattress.

Does the cold kill them too? We are going for a few days in December and I was wondering if I could leave my luggage outside for the night (or a few nights) after we get home if the freezing temps would kill them. Just in case.
I've been reading this thread over the past 2 days and although thankful for the information I am soooo freaked out and very itchy and my next WDW trip is still over a year away. This may be a crazy question but, I always bring a stuffed animal back, should I attempt to wash the plushie to make sure no eggs have traveled back home with me?
I would like to know that too. I did see on a thread not sure if it was this one where it was black around the end of the mattress which helped but what are the other things to do while checking. I also heard someone said to bring a maxi pad and use the sticky side to press on the mattress and if it comes up with blood looking flakes then there are bed bugs. I leave soon and want to make sure we do all we can to make sure this is not a problem we come home with or are plagued by it while we are there.
