Video: How to detect and kill bedbugs in your hotel room
Now bed bugs have gone from occasional nuisance to major problem in some cities, it makes sense to educate yourself on how to detect and kill these pests.In this video, you'll see Michael Colongione, president of GotchA! Bedbug Inspectors explain how you can prevent taking bedbugs with you, and how to spot them in your (hotel) room.
With some simple tips, like carrying a flashlight and checking books in the nightstand, you'll know exactly where to look.
If you do come across bedbugs, you can of course pack up your things and get another room. Alternatively, if your belongings are already infected, you can now kill the bugs with Pronto Plus, an EPA approved bedbug spray. Pronto Plus is available in a 3 oz. travel size canister, making it approved for transporting through security in your carry-on bag.
The travel size spray is available at Walmart, and you'll find it in the first aid aisle.

While this information is very handy, it is a shame that one must tear apart their hotel room before using it! Thanks for the tips!

Are you serious?
This is the most ridiculous video I've seen in a long time.
American paranoia at it's best.

Dude, call me after you've had bed bugs. It messes with your head, you lose sleep, and it costs an awful lot of money to have them removed. Trust me, its worth looking at a room for 5 min to prevent infesting your house.
