This is excellent advice, and I’ve done the same thing traveling, as well as similar things dealing with BBs in apartments.
Minor correction (at least from my understanding): they can’t jump, though they will strategically or accidentally fall from height.
Really pay attention to your contaminated/clean separation. It’s the key both to effective treatment and to your own confidence, that you don’t need to treat something over and over.
Lastly remember that they are not microscopic. You can absolutely see the smallest of them with your naked eye, so if you can inspect something thoroughly (like your suitcase) it doesn’t need to get treated. Open the lining and check between it and the outer shell. Use a paintbrush to brush out crevices and seams you can’t see into. Be extremely thorough, they are very interested in things like pockets and overlapping layers of cloth.
Eggs look like smallish grains of rice. Newborns are clear amber, Adults are the size of an apple seed and deep red.
Amber.
