Recent publicity about the bedbug epidemic has made me antsy (pun) about going on vacation. I have enough problems with my house without bringing home critters. I don’t need fancy amenities like a spa, pool, or internet service; only a comfy bed and bathroom. I don’t want to spend a fortune, but a cheapo motel is inviting unwelcome guests (bedbugs included). Any suggestions?
