I recommend to anyone traveling to have a bedbug avoidance plan in place right now...no suitcases on the bed ever..they say to leave suitcases in bathroom. Inspect bedding, frame, mattress and especially headboard.

WHen you get home, quarantine luggage on cement in garage, basement etc. Take clothing directly to laundry.

If you have guests, inform them of your policies...that all luggage has to stay in garage and they can take what needs to be brought into bedrooms in stuff sacks, pillow cases or whatever. I quarantined my luggage when I stayed with a friend recently. .

Read up on what people have to do if th ey get infested...bag up every item in the house it sounds like...or pay $4,000 or more to treat with heat....dogs can be trained to sniff them..maybe you should train Fido to sniff all luggage coming and going etc. And check out hotel history before booking. mg
