Prosedyrer ved hjemkomst... :-)

[Greece-Traveller]

Er det noen som følger tilsvarende prosedyrer som denne amerikaneren (fant den som innlegg på TripAdvisor):

Hi there,

Sadly, bed bugs are evreywhere including Greece.

International travel has contributed. They are great hitchikers and like to attach themselves to lugggae. A traveller has them on a bag, stays at a hotel, and next thing you know, the room has bed bugs.

They are also found on airplanes, cabs, shuttles, buses, trains, taxis, theatres, stores etc.

Now, I\'m not sure that I met any ( we didn\'t see any) but spouse had bites at a resort in Rhodes that fit the 1, 2, 3 pattern that often but not always is associated with them.

So the wisdom out there is to always treat luggage as infested and treat the bag and contents.

So, we left our bags in our dertached garage on our return, striped down in our mudroom and threw our travel clothing into hot water followed by a lengthy hot dry and have gradually been bringing things in for treatment

The dryer is an essential tool. Mine has a shelf that I can put things down on so they don\'t tumble. As I write, I have a probe from a remote thermometer placed in the thickest portion of ta book and I am heating it and several others to a temperaturte of 120F and holding for 2 hours at a minimm of 120F

Papers are in a file folder and will get the same treatment.

A full grown bed bug is the size of an apple seed. Yes , they are visible if you can find them. I wasn\'t prepared to go through 1,000 plus pages in one book. But the real issue is that bed bugs have 5 stages and when they are eggs or first instar they are a cream or white colour and very tiny. They are not visible generally The white of the pages is also good camouflage. The eggs are sticky and you cannot shake them out.

Any more information, I\'m happy to provide, including how to check a hotel room.

They are a modern plague and cost thousands and thousands to get rid of. I\'m not taking chances.

Hva gjør man for ikke å få disse krypene i hus? Setter bagasjen til frysing på Gardemoen, sånn for sikkerhets skyld?

Jeg venter spent på fortsettelsen ....

På norsk heter det \"toll\"... pleier sende reisefølget gjennom først :-)

Kanskje noen bør fortelle denne \"bug-fighteren\" at han burde prøve dypfrysing før kokeprosedyren.....   :evil4:  
Men da ville han muligens fått fnatt istedet for bugs
