Lifehacker links to Cooperative Extension bedbug video

Lifehacker, a daily weblog that recommends downloads, websites and shortcuts to help people work smarter and save time, cited a University of Maine Cooperative Extension video that explains to travelers how to check a hotel room and not inadvertently carry the creepy crawlers home with them. Yahoo Travel and Fox News also cited the video.

Jim Dill, Cooperative Extension specialist, advised people to place luggage in the bathtub before they check the bed, mattress, luggage rack and bureau drawers.
