    Was just at the England yard in slc and the entire top floor where the students sleep was being sprayed for insects/bugs. All students are staying at various motels in the area.

    Does anyone else have more info on this matter? I wonder how long England let the students get bitten by bugs before they did something about it.

    All of SLC got HIT HARD with Bed BUGS this summer... it had to do with a hot summer and a drought and it's not just SLC... either... I just quit the hotel industry to go train with a mega carrier NOT ENGLAND... thank u... I did my research!!!!

    My advice... relax... bed bugs do not attach to scalp etc... and if a hotel has them they are going to be in the carpet and in very small quantities after being vacuumed daily and linens changed (I am talking about motel 6 and above) if this still bothers you,,, STAY HOME, but whatever you do... don't be the moron that calls asking "does your hotel have bed bugs?!":biggrin_2551:

    the answer is yes!!!!!! and they are complimentary...

    FYI:
    My friend is Entomologist, PhD for the one of the largest pest control company in the US. He mentioned you can tell if there are bed bugs by doing this....
    Bed bugs for some reason congregate to the bottom side corners of mattresses. Lift up the mattress at each corner and if you see brown or a darker color then that of the mattress material, most likely you have bed bugs. He is an expert in this field and has been summoned many time to testify in court for plaintiffs and or defendants.
