http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-WE DON’T mean to ruin your next holiday but there could be something lurking in your hotel room.

Apparently vermin love staying in hotels too. That’s right, we’re talking mice scurrying down the halls, roaches snacking at the continental breakfast and ants climbing on the kitchenette.

According to a study conducted by Amerisleep, which looked at 8,000 reports from inspectors from over 3,400 hotels, motels and inns in Florida in 2015 and 2016, more than one in ten (12 per cent) of hotels, motels, and inns have had a vermin problem, the New York Post reports.

Vermin violations make up seven per cent of all of the health and safety violations that inspectors found at these properties.

Insects like ants and roaches are common complaints but rodent issues also occur.

Sometimes inspectors didn’t actually see the creatures but did see things like chewed food and packaging or droppings from a creature.

Went to 3rd and 4th grade in Hollywood in the world’s most modern elementary school. Teachers and administrators from all over the world would tour the place. I’m trying to remember the name of it.

This is the reason I travel in my RV. Motels are nothing but havens for creepy crawlers, including the two legged variety.

That’s nothing. I worked in NYC doing demolition in buildings in Manhattan and the Bronx. I saw cockroaches big enough to make eye contact with, I’m not kidding you. Four to five inches inches long and they could fly. New Yorkers call them wattha bug’’(’’water bugs’’).

Now is that the room you are staying in or the guests saying in the room next to you?

Ft. Lauderdale here. Travelled to Orlando many times in the past few years and have only stayed at LaQuinta hotels. Excellent place, reasonable price and clean. The free breakfast is nothing to brag about but hey, hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, waffles, muffins ain’t too bad.

Never saw one bug, and never had a problem bringing one home. Talking half a doz times in the last few years.

Whew!
What a relief! It's only referring to rats, cockroaches and fleas...

For a minute I thought they were referring to Maxine, Daschle, Hillary and Pelosi supporters...
