sleep tight

With our EuroTrip getting closer I started to wonder about the quality of the hotels we were looking at as we first started planning. I al 99.9% sure everything is top notch but based on the news, even four star hotels are having bedbug problems these days.

If you have bed bugs clothes are only one place they can hide. These small, flat, wingless insects survive by feeding on blood growing up to one quarter of an inch long. They’re usually nocturnal and will hide in bedrooms on the mattress and box springs, in cracks and crevices and on curtains during daylight.

The good news it is easier than you might imagine - all you have to do is run them through the laundry. About five minutes in most dryers is enough to kill both the adults and the developing critters. They die off because of the heat - they just can't survive the temperatures (up to 175 degrees Fahrenheit) of most home washers and driers. This has been a sponsored post.
