Bedbugs have been reportedly found in nursing homes, college dorms, apartment buildings, churches, subways, fire stations, schools as well as all the major hotels.

Bedbugs are tiny organisms that feed on the blood of human beings. They are usually active at night when the host is asleep and still. At the time when they feed, they would actually inject their saliva into the skin. This saliva contains anaesthetic properties and hence the host wouldn't be aware of the bite until a few hours. As a result of this secretion, you would be left with itchy skin or swollen pimples. Bedbugs are difficult to eliminate since they can survive for a year without the human host. Also, the female bugs could lay hundreds of eggs in one year of her life. Their egg sacks are extremely clear and would stick to almost anything. These eggs are also resistant to pesticides, since the chemicals cannot penetrate into the shell. The newer bedbugs can reproduce within a month. However, if you were to deal with bedbugs while travelling, it would be suggestive to carry some heat-treatment tools with you.

Quite a few reputed hotels would use heaters in the trucks, so as to eliminate hiding bedbugs.
