Before settling into a hotel room, place your suitcase in the bathtub—yes, really. Experts say it’s the safest spot to avoid bedbugs, which hide in soft surfaces like beds, carpets, and luggage racks. The tub’s smooth, clean surface makes it harder for these pests to reach your belongings. Always inspect the room first, and avoid unpacking into drawers or closets. It might seem strange, but this simple step can help you avoid bringing unwanted guests home from your trip.
