This is a problem worldwide and in the last 5 years really become a problem in the states.. I agree its a problem from luxury hotels to little motels.. This problem has cost me tens of thousands of dollars with my rental properties because it is very hard to deal with: and it can be transferred as easily as someone sitting on someone elses couch and then going home and its that simple to bring them back with you.. sanitation does have a bit to do with it, but clutter is a problem as well.. I have several cans of Bedlum is a product used by the licensed professionals and I usually spray an entire hotel room with it when we enter, around the bed area and the baseboards is the key. I have stayed at the Sheraton, I still call it the Yankee Snipper probably over 10 times and never had a problem..

I am sure everything will be fine, its just that lately its getting more press than it has in recent years...
