She said: \u201cThis is how I check my room before I unpack and get settled into the room. The first thing you\u2019re going to want to do is make sure your room is dark.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurn off lights, close any shades and use the flashlight on your phone. While everything is off, you\u2019re going to come up here under the covers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis one does have a mattress pad but you\u2019re going to check under all the creases.\u201d<\/p>\n
Halee demonstrated how tourists should check under the creases of their bed and lift up the sheets to check for bedbugs. She added: \u201cThey usually like to hang out in the corners and the creases.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> The hotel worker even lifts up the hotel\u2019s mattress to check if any of the bugs are hiding beneath it.<\/p>\n She warned: \u201cEven if you don\u2019t see bugs, make sure you check for spots, like blood spots because that\u2019s not a good sign either.\u201d<\/p>\n Tourists should never place their luggage on the bed. It\u2019s best to keep it on a hotel luggage rack or on the floor to avoid contamination.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The creatures could also hide on an ironing board or in the room\u2019s curtains.<\/p>\n The bugs are usually about 5mm long and dark yellow, red or brown in colour while the eggs are white.<\/p>\n Holidaymakers should wash their clothes on a hot wash if they\u2019re concerned about bedbugs and inform their hotel immediately.<\/p>\n
