If it is washable, throw the clothing in a washer. I am guessing the drying heat cycle will kill them. 
I don't travel with anything that requires dry cleaning.
My only exposure to bedbugs was in the Philippines. I do check for them on the sheets and pillow cases in my cheap hotels. Check the seams and look for blood specks.

One link I read mentioned that plain old cheap rubbing alcohol might be useful wiping solid stuff down. Wiping each other down can't be too much wasted time!
Thanks for the hints, I will take them into account!
Up to you!


I will take this in consideration, thank you!

I agree that it is very similar to mosquito bites. At least my skin reacts to them the same way.
Appreciate your input, thank you!

There are many types of mosquitoes. Some of them will leave large, red and swollen marks after biting.

My daughter who is a pilot for American Airlines, once flew to India on a plane which had bedbugs in the crew area. The bedbugs got from that area to the passenger area of the plane and were seen and the passengers complained. My daughter asked for the plane to be fumigated but the PTB said it could not be done in India. She refused to fly passengers on the infected plane, so the plane was flown back to LGA empty (except for the pilots) and she then disinfected her luggage.
