So, I just took a lovely trip to Vegas and guess what came back with my luggage, BED BUGS! I didn't stay in my usually hotel, I stayed at a house that I am 100% sure was bed bug free. I have already freaked out and moved on to ripping my house apart. I have a guy coming this afternoon to spray. What a complete nightmare. Still have so much to do!
I just wanted to make everyone aware, that apparently bed bugs getting into your luggage from a flight is fairly common. So if you are going to be traveling, when you get home. immediately put your suitcase and all the contents into plastic bags (can be garbage bags or a plastic tarp tied up) Best if you don't even bring your stuff into your home until it is secuerly wrapped. The heat from the plastic will cause them to crawl out of where ever they are hiding and they will eventually die. Also, throw the clothes you are wearing in the dryer on high for 15 mins.
Again, just wanted to give everyone a heads up, as I had no idea this was even possible let alone common.
