Place it on a metal support, such as a luggage rack, or in the bathroom, where bedbugs have fewer hiding places. In any case, up high! And lock your luggage at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect your personal belongings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Put your clothes and personal belongings in<strong> airtight plastic bags<\/strong> to keep bedbugs out.

It&#8217;s best to <strong>stay in the infested room until the host takes action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Request a change of accommodation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the
