Bed Bugs

Bedbugs may enter your home undetected through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches, and other items. Their flattened bodies make it possible for them to fit into tiny spaces, about the width of a credit card. Bedbugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but tend to live in groups in hiding places. Their initial hiding places are typically in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards where they have easy access to people to bite in the night.
They may also spread into other rooms
To avoid getting them - declutter often and clean!

AirBnB must have thought of that and it would be the owner's responsibility including maybe having to pay AirBnB if there's any negative publicity etc.
(great find on the photo Monsterbishi).

I managed to get rid of a small infestation of bed bugs when I was living in a one bedroom flat. It's tricky because they only come out to feed every few weeks or so. Often they live in nearby furniture, not actually the bed itself, and they follow the smell of carbon dioxide to find you. The advice I found, which worked perfectly for me, was to put sellotape back-to-front around the legs of the bed, or any other furniture which has legs. Then when the bed bugs try to climb up the legs they get stuck to the tape. Over a period of a few weeks I eventually caught around 3 bugs like this and never got bitten again. I happened to have a slat bed with long legs - if you have a bed with a large base it might be more difficult.
Good luck!

If the super market products that can be purchased off the shelf don't work then I'd get in a professional.Fraser Wilkinson
