27.07.2023 - 18:12 / smartertravel.com
If you’re planning on visiting any of these destinations, you should read up on how to spot bedbugs in your hotel room (and what to do about it). Pest control company Orkin just released its list of the top cities for bedbugs, using data from both residential and commercial (i.e., vacation rentals and hotels) calls. Orkin noted which destinations had more bedbug outbreaks (Los Angeles, for example, moved up two spots on the list), and which had fewer (good job, New York, dropping four places).

Remember, when you check into a hotel room or vacation rental, always put your luggage somewhere with a tile surface (like the kitchen or bathroom) while you scope out the mattress, box spring, and headboard of your bed for bedbugs.
