Going travelling to SE Asia and would like to know from experienced travellers if it is worth it to purchase a bed bug barrier / sheet impregnated with permethrin to protect against bed bug bites when sleeping in hostels?
Do they actually work? Thanks in advanceAre bed bug barriers / impregnated sheets useful when backpacking?

Hi not sure if they work but go on www.thetravelforums.com to ask your question.

I got bed bug bites at one place only when travelling in South East Asia. I never knew that such barriers existed. All the bites are are a few spots on the skin that don't really hurt and soon fade. The barriers seem to be cheap and don't take up a lot of space. To my mind space is a premium when travelling and if I were to visit SE Asia again I still wouldn't take one. Depends whether you mind being bitten (and you're very unlikely to avoid mosquito bites which are far more noticeable because they itch) or not.
