Halee advises travelers to turn all the lights off, ensuring that the room is dark. Then, using your phone flashlight, thoroughly examine the creases and corners of the mattress. Apparently, those areas are bed bugs’ favorite hangout spots.
Lift the mattress to look underneath as well, and also pay attention to mattress pads if there are one. In addition, check for telltale signs of blood spots since bed bugs feed on blood to survive.
Many viewers offered additional advice on how to inspect for bed bugs, and some shared their own encounters with the pests.
“Headboards, nightstands, creases, pull the mattress away from the headboard and look at the box spring! Every time,” advised one viewer.
“I had bedbugs years ago, and now I’m THAT person who ferociously checks every hotel and Airbnb,” commented another.
“I got bed bugs from a very expensive resort. I didn’t notice them while there, but I took them home-3 months of misery,” lamented a third.
