I have had the unfortunate luck of running into things that bite you in the night at some of the Asia hotels & guesthouses that I have stayed at in Asia beside mosquitoes. One hotel had scabies that fortunately wasn’t in my room but a couple of other people got a dose. If the hotel or guesthouse does not have a dryer it will be difficult for them to get rid of unless they soak the bedding in very hot, roiling boil water for a few minutes. The way to get rid of them off of you personally is that you need to get a ointment usually, that kills them & make sure that you have all of your laundry done & dried completely on the hottest setting, which kills any that might be on your cloths or sleeping garments. I have been bitten by bed bugs in a few of the cheapest guesthouses.
Bed bugs are very hard to get rid of, basically you need to freeze the bed, which is hard to do in the tropics, or stick the entire bed in a plastic bag & apply some bed bug killing solutions, or isolate the mattress for 6 months in a plastic bag, You also need to clean very good the rest of the bed frame & anything close to the bed as the bed bugs can jump back on to a new or cleaned mattress & you are infected again. A good idea is not to stick you luggage on the bed whenever possible to avoid hitchhikers. Cockroaches you can sometimes have crawl into your luggage when you are traveling & you can bring them home with you. If that is the case take your luggage & shake it real good & look for the little bastards in all the little nicks & crannies, and if you find them, of course, squish the little darlings & give the luggage a good spray with a bug spray. If you do get a infestation of cockroaches in your home or apartment you need to bomb the dwelling and apply some cockroach powder near all the water fixtures that you can not see like behind the toilet & under the sinks and around the refrigerator. One drop of sweat off a pipe is enough water for a small army of roaches. On the bombing you need to do it 3 times do it the first time & wait 12 days bomb again, wait 12 days and then the final.
