Yes, pauld315 and K9-Lovers, I'm aware of the points you both make.

I'm just curious to know if TV homeowners, who rent out their homes for months at a time, have thought what to do about this potential problem.

Renters could unknowingly carry in bedbugs. Heck, any of us could unknowinglhy carry them into our own homes. I saw on the news that they can be carried in on a purse. It's just that with renting out your home numerous times per year, it's probably going to be a more likely occurrence. So, if you're a homeowner, will you be directing your caretaker or house cleaning service to routinely check for an infestation, so that if one occurs, you can get the house treated?

I'm just curious what the homeowners thoughts or plans are (if any) regarding this issue.
