Regionals and Bed Bugs
Time for the truth to be told! We should report any hotel no matter what airline. If they are not going to pay us what we are worth...at least we should be put in a decent hotel! C'mon union!!!

Bedbugs cause misery!
Put your suitcase in the tub, then check the mattress carefully for bugs. If you see anything that is suspicious move to a different room.
Pack all your clothes in ziplock bags. When you get home put everything directly into the dryer and nuke it. Then wash all the dirty clothes in the usual fashion.
Leave the suitcase out in the garage: do NOT bring it into the house, especially not into the bedroom. If you see any bugs you can slay individuals with rubbing alcohol (use a spray bottle), and prepare for an expensive eradication. The only effective was is to use heat: the insecticides do not work.

The following technique is anecdotal. I have no first hand experience or scientific documentation that it works. I do it anyway.
Bed bugs are attracted to CO2 and to heat, CO2 moreso (scientific fact).. When arriving to your room, heat then unplug the iron. Place the warm iron on the bed and wait a few minutes. Pull back the bed clothes and check for bugs.
