I am back to the bed bug subject. I saw a lawschool friend this weekend that has some professional knowledge about these little "suckers. " She told me that in addition to looking under the mattress or in the linens, you should look in the bed side table drawers.
They like dark places - near where humans could be - and the bed side table makes sense.
She also told me they can travel from room to room through cracks in the doors, wall outlets, etc.
So as we pursue these bed bug cases against Virginia Motels, I am confident there will be more popping up.
So - if you are unfortunate enough to spend the evening in a Virginia motel along Interstate 81 or 95, with bed bugs, please do the following:
1. Save the bugs (plastic baggies are perfect)
2. Notify the Motel staff
3. Don't sign anything
4. Go to the doctor and tell them you saved a bug
5. Call our office. 540-985-0098 or 1-866-985-0098
6. Wash all of your belongings and put them in a hot clothes dryer to kill any stow away bugs
7. Wrap your suitcases in a trashbag and leave in a hot place to sufficate and cook any stowaway bugs
I traveled this weekend and you will not be surprised to learn I checked the bed and bed side tables before unpacking!
