NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- New York City came in at No. 2 -- second only to Philadelphia -- as having the worst bed bug problem in the country, according to Terminix.

But Terminix says bed bugs are not only problems at home, they are a serious pest during summer travel.
The company says don't just check hotel room mattresses and sheets for the apple seed-sized bugs, also look for cream-colored nymphs and small translucent eggs.

They recommend hanging all clothing, not using the furniture drawers, storing suitcases on a luggage rack and immediately washing clothes in hot water when you get home.
