Hotel worker says tourists should never 'turn on the lights' when they enter hotel room

It's easier to check for bed bugs in a darkened room Checking for unwanted quests shouldn't be something that you need to worry about on holiday, but one hotel worker has warned that Brits must be vigilant while they are away. The expert says that checking your hotel room for bed bugs should be a priority when you first arrive at your accommodation and that it's easier to do it when the lights are out. While it's not very nice to have to think about creepy crawlies in your hotel room, the reality is that they can appear anywhere.

Easily transferred from suitcases, bags, clothing and even hotel cleaning trolleys, nobody wants to share a room with these teeny terrors. Halee, who uses the TikTok handle @haleewithaflair, explained that there is an easy way to catch them out before you make yourselves comfortable in your room. The hotel worker says it simply involves turning the lights off when you step inside your room.
