WOMAN SHARES HER TRICK TO EXPOSING BED BUGS WHILE STAYING IN A HOTEL

According to a survey released by the National Pest Management Association, “one out of five Americans has had a bed bug infestation in their home or knows someone who has encountered bed bugs at home or in a hotel.”

In a clip with over 10 million views, TikTok users Janelle and Kate (@janelleandkate) show a woman with an iron sitting next to a hotel bed.

“So here’s a quick little trick. Pull up the comforter, get your hot iron. It doesn’t take much time, but the heat will bring all of these bed bugs to the surface of the mattress if they actually are there,” she says.

“Now I’ve got this iron on hot and you know they like to live around the corners of the mattress itself,” she continues. After a few seconds, she lifts up the covers—revealing what appear to be bed bugs along the corner of the bed.

In the comments section, users shared their own thoughts on bed bugs, with many saying they were common regardless of the perceived quality of the hotel. “I was a housekeeper, even 5 star hotels aren’t clean,” said a user. “I was hungover and overworked sorry guys.”
