Normally the

nocturnal parasites

live

in preferred hiding places that are used again and again.

So far, researchers have not been able to explain

that the

animals still end up in suitcases

. Now one thing is certain: the animals are attracted by the smell of dirty laundry, as the team led by Hentley found out in the journal "Scientific Reports". In order to prevent them from spreading the pests, travelers should therefore not leave dirty laundry on the floor.

In one

experiment

, the scientists placed four bags in two identical rooms in which they let bed bugs roam free.

Two of the bags were

clean clothes

and the other two were

dirty clothes

.

The researchers were able to regulate the temperature and the CO2 concentration in the rooms.

One of the rooms has been enriched with enough CO2 to imitate the presence of a breathing person.

The other room remained "unoccupied", i.e. free from increased CO2 values.

It lays one to twelve eggs per day, depending on its age, and the population is growing exponentially.

So be

prepared

for your

next hotel visit
