A true scourge of hotel and vacation rental professionals, bedbugs also haunt the nights of vacationers who have had the misfortune of encountering them. The latter have more than one place where they like to hide and are not satisfied with the bed or the sofa to establish themselves.
It is a real scourge for many professionals in the hotel and vacation rental industry and a nightmare for vacationers who face it. For several years, bed bugs frighten many travelers because of the ordeal they cause to those who come into contact with them against their will. In fact, many travelers have the reflex of opening their suitcase wide on the bed once they arrive in their hotel room.

In other words, these blood-sucking insects have just offered themselves a free trip to your travel wardrobe, but also and above all to your home. Once you return from vacation, it’s a tragedy, bedbugs can then establish themselves in most corners of your house or apartment. As their name suggests, these critters enjoy nesting in the fibers of your mattress.
