Some people hate snakes. Others hate spiders. Others hate creepy crawlies. None of that bothers me. What keeps me awake at night is..... bed bugs. They really bug me!! I love to travel and there's nothing I enjoy more than sleeping in a new city every night. The problem is that new cities mean strange hotels, and strange hotels mean beds... and bed bugs! It doesn't even matter how fancy the hotel is: any hotel, from five-star resorts to budget motels, can have a bed bug infestation. I always check for bedbugs when I get into a hotel room, and whenever possible I use my own pillow with its own dust mite/lice/bedbug protective cover. Yes, I'm probably overly paranoid, but have you seen the photos of people with bed bug bites on the internet? It's not a pretty sight.
As far as I'm concerned, it's open war on bed bugs -- and I'm glad there are companies like Orkin who can provide the ammunition!

ReplyDeleteUgh...I got 80. I don't even know if that was good or bad; it was very confusing!
ReplyDeleteMy bed bug horror story is simply that I am absolutely horrified at the idea of sleeping with bed bugs! That is very, very close to my definition of hell.
ReplyDeleteI putr a dryer sheet in between the mattress and boxspring as that is supposed to deter them.
