00:00Give me 20 minutes and I will be ready.

00:03The first thing we do in every hotel room that we come to is check for bed bugs.

00:06I am a flight attendant.

00:08My uncle is a flight attendant.

00:10He has been flying for 13 plus years.

00:13I've been flying for a little over a year.

00:15And these are some things that we would do to check for bed bug.

00:19First you need to pull up all the sheets and check the corners to see if there's any bugs.

00:24Have you ever gotten bed bugs before?

00:26Be honest.

00:27I don't want him to have to come.

00:29This is misleading.

00:30I know.

00:31The other thing that you can also do is put a bar of soap at the end of your bed and then

00:37leave to go do something and then whenever you come back, the bar of soap draws out the

00:42bed bugs.

00:43Bed bugs are also attracted to your carbon dioxide that you breathe out.

00:46So if you're sleeping at night, they're going to come out because they're attracted to that

00:49carbon dioxide.

00:50So sometimes I flip up the corner and start breathing on the bed.

00:54Bed bugs are no joke and whenever they bite you, they are painful.

00:58They are red.

00:59They are big.

01:00They will cause swelling.

01:02So make sure you check for bed bugs.
