bed bugs are an epidemic in cincinnati because of people buying used beds I know it’s gross , but we had to have a cleaning service come to our dialysis unit to clear ours up after a few patients had them so no lysol won’t do it . gl/
dont sleep under their covers.
Well I would bring bug guard for your body……..but most insects are repelled by eucalyptus………they make linen sprays you can put on sheets bedding etc! Most Hotels even motels are clean enough that they dont have bugs!
This is the Lysol Product you need. It’s called Lysol Concentrate. You put it in the washing machine and it will kill and disinfect everything.
You can buy it at most stores, but it has to be this one: http://www.lysol.com/solutionsfinder_apcleaners.shtml#article5_5

sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite!
I don’t know about that, but I used to take it all of the time to hotel rooms because of the filthy condtion of the human race in modern times, and what has been uncovered in hotel rooms when investigated with ultra-violet light.
Name the body fluid and it’s likely there.
Sounds like that was an isolated incident, and that you are a germophobe!
Were are you going? Bed bugs are mostly in Europe and are brought to America when people put their luggage on the floor instead of the luggage racks. I don’t know what kills them, but if you vacuum the bed mattress and box spring, it usually sucks them up. Don’t leave your luggage on the floor, or put it in the dresser. Keep it up on the luggage racks. If you are that worried about them, use your own blanket on top of the hotels blankets. You shouldn’t be bothered by them.
you are not going to be eaten by bed bugs and if you are its a free room yay for you.
If you are sleeping on a mattress that has bugs in it that bite, you need a new mattress. The only thing I can think of that would be biting them is flies from an animal. You can get spray for flies and spray the mattress and let it air for about an hour before making the bed.
All mattresses are filled with mites. They come from you. That will never go away.
go to a hardware store and ask what you can buy, its a lot of those bugs going around Good Luck
There’s not much you could do in the short time you were at the hotel. You could spray them and they may not die by the time you leave.
If you are flying, you won’t be able to take anything to spray with anyway.
It is a relatively rare thing. It’s probably more likely you will die on the way there than be attacked by bed bugs.
Cheers!
Bedbugs are not an easy thing to get rid of. I don’t think Lysol will do the job, sorry. You would need real insecticides which take a lot of time to use properly.
Bedbugs are becoming a big problem in major cities in the USA. Lysol will not kill bed bugs. DDT will, but it’s illegal. A good bug spray, like Deep Woods Off will help you from being bitten.
