Update to Bed Bugs at Polynesian

[Keith Chandler]

Hello, I have an update about the thread I posted earlier today. I called the resort. Pest Management checked the room and they said there was no evidence of bed bugs. They left a message for me in the room but I was gone by then. I talked to the manager I gave the bug too and she said it looked like a bed bug, but pest management didn't agree. I'm not sure what type bug I found on the bed that morning. I'm sorry for the disruption my previous post caused. I still have bug bites from something and I really believed it was bed bugs Sunday morning. I'm still washing all my clothes in hot water just to be safe. Next time I go to a resort I will be ultra careful to make sure I don't have a real incidence of bed bugs.

Keith so sorry to read about your experience. Bed bugs are no joke, I have a friend who brought them home from a ritzy hotel in NYC and it cost her about $6,000 to get rid of them ; every scrap of fabric in her home had to be treated - including her curtains. High heat will kill them. I know they said they were not bedbugs, but to be safe I would wash everything in hot water setting and then dry everything in small batches on the hottest drier setting (if you have one called anti-bacterial or sanitize, use that one). I have read from other posters that Disney will treat everything of yours if they think bed bugs are in the room, I think in your case it was the timing of discovering them as you were checking out. ) :

We had bed bugs years ago, we had traveled to two different places in a short period of time so not sure which hotel we got them from. It was awful Best pieces of advice I received and still do to this every time we travel. First examine the bed when you first walk into the room, pull the mattress up and look underneath for evidence of the bugs. And the this is the biggest thing, NEVER bring your luggage back in your house after you travel, keep luggage in the garage or in a separate room and unload it there. If you plopped your luggage on the hotel bed and then on your bed when you get home, hello bedbugs. I take all of the clothes out of the luggage while its in the garage and put it all straight in the wash just in case any try to hitchhike home on our clothes.

Maybe fleas? You don't want to bring those home either.

Could have been heat rash or dust mites too...

Were you in the sand at all? A couple years ago, we sat on the beach at WL to watch the EWP. Both of my kids buried their feet and ankles in the sand. Both woke up the next day with bites all over them. I checked the beds and nothing there, so I am guessing some kind of sand fleas/mites bit them.
