Just got back from Honduras where I was feasted on my a number of critters, including I think bed bugs. Here's what I did when I got back, and so far it seems to have worked.

I returned late at night, so I took off all my clothes and put on fresh clothes. All clothes went directly into the hamper. The next morning, I washed everything - including my fresh clothes from the night before and my sheets.

While things were washing, I sprayed my mattress, clothes hamper and luggage with ample amounts of Lysol disinfectant.

So far, so good. Of course, I'm not positive anything hitched a ride back with me. But they don't appear to have taken hold.
