BEDBUGCHINA — TRAVEL CHECKLIST
Guide: https://bedbugchina.online/en/guides/bed-bugs-in-china-travel-guide
Editorial date: October 27, 2026

BEFORE BOOKING
[ ] Match the Chinese branch name and full address.
[ ] Read dates, pest labels, original sources and available property responses.
[ ] Save the booking conditions and your communication.
No record found does not mean a property has been assessed as safe.

BEFORE UNPACKING
[ ] Keep luggage closed and away from beds and upholstered furniture.
[ ] Check accessible mattress seams, corners, labels and piping.
[ ] Look at accessible bed-frame and headboard joints.
[ ] Inspect the luggage rack and nearby upholstered seams.
[ ] Photograph suspicious insects and the place where you found them.
A quick check cannot certify a room as free of bed bugs. Bites alone do not identify the insect.

IF YOU FIND SIGNS
[ ] Close bags and contact hotel staff.
[ ] Save close-up and context photos, the exact branch and event timing.
[ ] Ask for inspection and a practical room solution.
[ ] If changing rooms, request a room that is not next door; inspect it first.
[ ] Keep potentially exposed clothing contained until suitable inspection or treatment.
[ ] Record any agreed solution in writing.

CHINESE PHRASES

I found an insect that may be a bed bug in the mattress seam. Please help inspect it.

这是我拍的虫体和发现位置的照片。
These are my photos of the insect and where I found it.

请帮我换一间不相邻的房间，我想先检查再入住。
Please help me move to a room that is not next door. I would like to inspect it first.

可以请经理书面确认处理方案吗？
Could the manager confirm the proposed solution in writing?

这些衣物可能接触过虫害，能否按面料要求安排高温烘干？
These clothes may have been exposed. Can you arrange high-heat drying if the fabric allows it?

COMING HOME
[ ] Inspect luggage on a hard surface away from sleeping areas.
[ ] Keep suspect items contained while arranging treatment.
[ ] For fabrics that allow it, EPA guidance recommends a household dryer on high heat for 30 minutes; washing alone may not suffice.
[ ] Get professional advice for items that cannot safely withstand heat.
