North America's Bedbug-Infested Cities

When you arrive at a hotel, inspect and lightly spray Greenbug for People on all linens down to the mattress, under the headboard and behind the artwork above the bed. This kills all bed bugs, eggs and larva PLUS creates a barrier no bed bug will cross so you are safe while you sleep. Protect yourself and do not bring them home!

My wife and I and our 3 children checked in on Sat. 10/30/2010. Our first room was in the 1100 building, first floor. It was worn and old and not very clean, garbage can under the kitchen sink was full when we checked in and the ceiling fan in the kids room was about to fall off the ceiling. That night we noticed several small bugs in the room including roaches. When we woke up Sun morning my wife noticed several blood spots on the sheets in our room,we noticed even more blood spots on the kids sheets when we woke them up. What is even worse is that those blood spots hadn't come from us and, as confirmed by the head of housekeeping, appeared to be relatively fresh and had not been through the wash. It was very upsetting to watch the staff remove all the bedding that we just slept on wearing protective gloves. We complained and were moved to the 1200 building, fourth floor. This room appeared much cleaner and newer. That night however, every time we woke up to use the bathroom we found at least one, inch sized, cockroach somewhere in the master bathroom. I was able to kill several but some escaped through a tiny gap in the wall at the base of the shower door. When we woke up the next morning, my older daughter had well over one hundred bites all over her body and she was itching like mad, my wife and I had several bites also, these turned out to be bed bug bites. After complaining again, they attempted to move us to the 1300 building, but we had friends staying in the owner suites who hadn't had any problems yet so we convinced them to move us there. After we were there we didn't have any further problems, but unfortunately the damage was already done. We spent the first two nights there looking for and worrying about what else we were going to find, and every morning my daughter seemed to have more and more bites on her. So we lost several days at Disney and Universal trying to get this mess straightened out and my daughter has been on Benadryl every few hours for the last week to control the itching.

I live and work in London, England and have seen a big increase in Bedbugs in the last few years. We seem to have no problem in dealing with them but renifestation is common as neighbouring properties are not treated or not treated properly. If you do have a problem it is better to call out a professional company but please get recommendations from their clients as treatment can be expensive.

I think there are a number of contributing factors as to why the Bedbug is still flourishing especially in inner city areas. These are some but not all of the reasons -

1. Costs involved in treatment
2. The inconvenience in preparing your property for treatment.
3. The lack of effective insecticides
4 .Ineffective treatments by pest control companies.
5. Failed treatments due to neighbouring properties not carrying out treatments.

Bedbugs are difficult to get rid of at the best of times. Throw in the obstacles above and you have a recipe for disaster.

I always stay at a Hilton or Marriot. Never a problem.

Take a flashlight to the theatre with you and check the seat before you sit down. Theatres are getting these dreaded bedbugs also.

I think I might have been the first person in America to suffer from this bed bug thing in hotels. I'm in Baton Rouge, got a motel room at the Days Inn on Canal Street in New Orleans, close to the French Quarter 4 years ago.

A horrible place. I can it into it here, with all the details, but if I told you the previous occupants left a dildo in the toilet---doesn't that say enough? I woke up with bug bites---but this was before the current bed bug scare. I have no doubt they were bed bugs based on what I have read about them.

If DDT has been banned in America, does anyone know where it is still legal use and and surrepticiously ship to a house in America to kill bed bugs?

While I understand they bite, what I want to know is aside from the itching, are they carriers of any diseases?

I am in Reno,Nv & staying at a smaller motel, the owner has had serious problems w/ bedbugs and does everything to cover it up. He shifts bedsets from room to room after he sprays them & lets them set out in the covered parking for weeks. I had been bitten so bad my legs looked terrible. He has had many complaints but doesn't want a repudable co. to come in and take care of it.
