Nonsense. This is not a real problem. I don't know a single person who has actually seen a bedbug.

Shameful confession: We have 'em too. (Well, not anymore, thanks to my friends at Ace Exterminating!)

Just pray to God it doesn't happen to you. The psychological toll is worse than you can possibly imagine . . . . This may be why you "don't know" anyone who has this problem. It's not really something people share with their neighbors. I made the mistake of doing so (thought they should know, 'cuz their kids play with our kids), and . . . well, let's just say we haven't been getting many visitors this summer. Not even my family would come over and help us clean and throw out clutter during the worst of it . . .

If they only live on blood, then how long do they survive if you can keep from getting bit?

Right here! Cincy hotel room. As I drive around Cincy, I see billboards advertising for bedbug removal. Advertising isn't free, you know.

Correct. There is nothing more "ewwwwww" than a bug infestation, particularly a biting bug infestation.

"Nonsense" is right.

You have, and you will more yet. Wait til your tenants get them (they probably do already).

Do a little research and a Google to learn about bed bugs it's a lot closer to your bed than you think.
