Since they are attracted by heat and CO2, I don’t see why a trap can’t be invented. Also, I’ve read that they can live much longer than 2 months without a meal—some sources say up to a year. That is part of the problem in hotels: they leave a room empty to let the bugs die, but not long enough.
I won’t stay in hotels anymore because I can’t sleep thinking about them. I also heard they have been found in moving vans....ain’t diversity grand?

They drug the mattress’ outside in the sunshine and wiped them down really well with rags soaked in gasoline and then left them in the sunshine for hours. apparently that killed them!
Note to self: “along with the other dumb stuff you’ve clicked on over the years, never click on a thread with bed bugs in the title while eating breakfast........”
