Toronto -- What could be more fun than traveling to a resort hotel for a week's summer vacation? Relaxing by the pool and meeting other guests sounds ideal for holiday fun. But watch out, not all "guests" are the kind you want to invite home for a visit. A growing problem for the hotel industry is bed bugs--small, wingless insects that feed on warm blood, preferably human. Even the most luxurious and expensive hotels are not immune to these little oval-shaped bugs who can ride in on a traveler's leather tote bag and take up residence in the swankiest hotel room. But take heart. GreenLeaf Pest Control has some tips about essential ways to prevent leaving the resort with bed bugs in tow:

* If you are planning to purchase new luggage, keep in mind that bed bugs prefer the textured surface of fabric suitcases. Choose hard-shell suitcases when you buy. Hard-shell luggage provides fewer spots for bed bugs to linger and cozy down.

* Before you get into bed, take time to inspect for bed bugs. Pull back the sheets and inspect the mattress seams for tell-tale signs of bed bugs. Look for brownish spots, shed skins, or bed bugs themselves. Remember to check the box springs and the attached headboard. If you should find anything suspicious, contact management immediately. Visit www.greenleafpestcontrol.com for more details about just what to look for.

* If you discover evidence of bed bugs and need to change rooms, make sure to request a room that is not on either side, above, or below the room where you detected the problem.

* Avoid placing your luggage on the bed. Use a luggage rack and place it in the middle of the room. Take out items as you need them.

* When returning home, unpack outside (in the garage or on the balcony) if possible; otherwise, inspect your luggage before bringing it inside. Place dirty clothing directly in the washing machine; any items that weren't worn should go directly into the dryer for a minimum of 40 minutes on the hottest setting.

* Keep your luggage stored in large sealed plastic bags until your next vacation.

Preventive actions will keep bed bugs away, but if you should bring home bed bugs, don't panic. Bed bugs are not known to spread disease, and safe and effective treatments are available.
