Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!

Remember as a child when you were told as you were going to sleep to not let the bed bugs bite? I just thought that was a cute little saying. I didn't realize that bed bugs are real bloodsuckers that come out in the early morning while you are sleeping to eat you alive. OK--that is a little dramatic, but apparently not too far from the truth. Bed bugs hide in your mattress or anywhere you sleep. You can bring them home with you after spending time in hotel rooms. But the good news is that most people don't get sick from the bites. If there is any repercussion, it is usually itching or a slight infection. Still the idea of these little beasties in your bed is kind of gross. You can do things like buy a mattress casing or call a pest control company to help you out. But the goal is to get rid of them.
