...on your clothing, shoes socks etc. It's almost as bad as catching an STD and taking it home to the wife.

Hey, might as well check for them bed bugs when doing incall/outcalls at hotels.. No cover made to protect you from bringing them home!

Bed bugs are not attracted to filth. Human Blood is their meal of choice and necessity.

I too heve never had a issue with bed bugs.

Maybe I am just lucky, but after thousands of nights spent in hotels over several decades, three continents, a couple of dozen countries, and forty something states, No I am not concerned. lol

I am being very picky about places I stay at.

Unfortunately the vermin are infecting stores & other places.   I think hanging up your clothing on a hook or hanger is preferable to dropping on a piece of upholstered furnature.  I've heard that clothing store changing rooms may have increased risk.

... and the hotels ranged from the 5 star Blackstone in Chicago, to a campers facility on the shores of michigan's northern peninsula to a motel timewarped out of the 50's in Montana.
In other words, a good cross-section of hotels across the country.

Mosquitos in Manistique and a fossilized spider web in Wyoming were about as close as I got to bedbugs.

Thanks.. Good to know this...

...but I heard that those critters can't survive at a sustained temp of 120 degrees F.  They actually sell a portable device called the "PackTite" which is a portable bed bug heat treatment device (See link below).

I usually travel a few weeks each month.
Across the USA and in Ontario. Admittedly, nice hotels.
Thankfully, no bugs.

Tea Tree or Sage essential oils seem like they'd probably work too.

Are you fucking serious?! Goddam! I swear to God, you better hope you don't meet someone like me in a dark alley!

I'm 5' 10" , 170-175, and I go by the axiom 'it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.'

You diggin'  on me now man?

Fuck!!!

Making idol threats behind the keyboard of a computer is more descriptive of "a pussy" than the person you are insulting.

At 5'10 and 170-175 is really not much to bring to a fight. And, "the size of the fight" is only a cover for how drunks spew their threats. Grow up little man or someone will punch you in your throat giving the pain you so often threaten others with.

into personal attacks and threats?

See, this is how things get bend out of shape and a discussion deteriorates into gutter chat.

I hardly see how what RedCloak said comes within even a mile of where your friend MP67 stands on the gutter chat, personal attacks and threads scale

Perhaps rereading those two posts are in order for you eh?

Don't meet an ultimate fighter in a dark alley. 5-10, 170-175 sounds like an appetizer for them.

actually exists! Bummer though; one of the places I've used has been listed. Happy happy: No bugs brought home and not bitten either!
