Related to this question. I've moved into a telecommuting position that requires me to travel more frequently. One of the things I'm paranoid about is staying at hotels that may have had bedbug infestations in the past.

Simply put, I'm curious what measures do hotels take to prevent bed bug infestations? Is there anything special they do on a continuous basis? What do they do when bedbugs are found? How reliable are the techniques that they use? Are they usually successful? Have hotels become experts at bed bug removal? Or do the bedbug infestations typically recur?
