    Thank you, I’m quite a sensitive person as it is and I don’t like mine or my partner’s integrity called into question :-(

    You do know that there are warehouses of trolls in Russia who are trying to destabilise the West but causing arguments on the internet?

    You should only worry if someone you know questions your integrity, not professional trolls like on the Daily Mail.

    yeah, agree!
  • Bro, I know that I am a little bit late but maybe I will be useful for other users. When I was fighting with bed bugs my friends suggested me to look over some blogs on the internet for the useful info. Accidentally I found this page where I read about diatomaceous earth for bed bugs and it was really useful! I think every person will meet a bed bug and it is so annoying! So I am always searching for interesting info or tutorials which help me with fighting with bugs!

    I'm sorry to say that you would need to prove that you had bed bugs in the hotel. That you didn't pick them up on the way home. That you took every precaution to prevent an infestation of you home. That you did everything you could to erradicate the bugs before you got rid of furniture.
    They are a common problem and, if as you say, you bought your case into the house and put it on soft furnishing and took no precautions it becomes your fault.
    If you have been somewhere, and most hot countries live with all sorts of bugs, then you should leave all luggage outside the house until you have washed all the clothes and treated the case. I had to do this with small cockroaches on a boat I was on, it had been fumigated but came from supplies delivered just before sailing. I saw the documents so I know.
    TripAdvisor will not publish reports of bed bugs or stomach bugs without proof that it was the fault of the hotel only.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
