Host Court Parker walks you through everything you need to know to stay one step ahead of these unwanted pests. From hotel rooms to luggage storage and even laundry routines, this episode is your complete travel protection plan against bed bugs.
You'll learn:
- How to research hotels using tools like the Bed Bug Registry and review sites
