nope, it is an EPA plot. The EPA has outlawed use of chemical sprays that used to keep us safe from bedbugs.

:P
The article told us how to keep bedbugs from climbing into our suitcases when we travel, but not how to tell if they're in the hotel beds.
The people I work for travel a LOT. My sister is flying out to California this weekend.
Yeech.

I would think you would look for the same signs as any other bed, and the article does discuss that:
--- Quote ---Look around the mattress of your bed. Look around the seams of the mattress, the dust ruffle, the head board, and then look for what’s called bed bug dirt, which is excrement. That’s going to be blackish and it can also look like dried blood.

Yeech, indeed. This story started breaking just before I left for my vacation, which included three nights in San Francisco.
