I’m a flight attendant. This is how you know if your hotel room is infested with bed bugs

A flight attendant has shared the simple way you can find out if your hotel room is infested with bed bugs using a household item.

Hannah Hudson Kimmel, a Southwest Airlines employee from Chicago, recently went viral after she shared some essential tips for discovering whether or not a hotel room is filled with creepy crawlers on TikTok.

As someone who often has to stay in a hotel because of her work, she explained that the ‘first thing she does’ when she arrives is to examine the bed for small pests.

To do this, she said she pulled up all the sheets and looked closely at the corners of the mattress for signs of bugs.

But even if you don’t see anything, she said they could still be there and just hiding – and according to the flight attendant, there is one common object that will help “lure them out.”

‘I’m a flight attendant… and I’ve been flying for a little over a year now. Here are some things I do to check for bed bugs,” she began in the viral video.

‘First you need to pull up all the sheets and check the corners to see if there are any bugs.

‘The other thing you can do is put a bar of soap at the foot of your bed and go away and do something. The bar of soap will pull the bed bugs out.”

Additionally, Hannah added that bed bugs are “attracted to the carbon dioxide you exhale,” so she recommended “breathing on the bed” to see if they crawl out.

‘Bed bugs are no joke and when they bite you it is painful, the bites are red and large and cause swelling. So make sure you check for bed bugs,” she concluded.

A hospitality expert named Halee previously went viral after she shared her own advice on spotting unwanted guests in your hotel room.

The avid traveler explained that you should check for bugs “before you unpack,” and also recommend turning off all lights and using your phone’s flashlight when searching for the mattress.

But even if you don’t see anything, she said they could still be there and just hiding — and according to the flight attendant, putting a bar of soap on your bed can help “pull them out.”

She suggested you check the corners and folds of the bed, as well as any sofas and headboards.

“The first thing you want to do is make sure your room is dark: turn off the lights, close any curtains, and use the flashlight on your phone,” she explained.

“And while everything is off, you come here under the covers… and check all the wrinkles here in the bed.”

Halee added that the reason you should check for bed bugs after dark is because they “are nocturnal, so they are more likely to be out and about looking for their prey.”

She said to keep an eye out for “blood stains” as they are usually an indication that bed bugs are nearby.
