Bugs in Your Hotel Bed?

831

Are you worried about bed bugs when traveling?

I have to say I’m happy I have never personally run into any, although several years ago while staying in a 4 star hotel in New York City, our box of chocolates was nibbled on by rats, but that is another story.

A company called “Rest Easy” has an all natural spray available made from time-honored essential oils (cinnamon, lemongrass, clove, and mint), it’s people-safe, earth-friendly, and even smells of minty goodness. The company claims that bed bugs are making a come back, and that their spray will care of cimex lectularius, aka the common bed bug.  They even suggest spraying your luggage upon your return, so you don’t bring any new friends home.  I have no idea if it works, but I suppose if it smells good, and it’s not bad for the environment, what’s the harm?  For more information, you can visit their site at www.resteasykillsbedbugs.com
