Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite! |

Are you sleeping with bed bugs? Well, here's what to look out for and here's some steps to prevent them...
 So you're getting bit. You don't know what it is. You don't know when you get bit. But something is biting. It must be bed bugs.
Fleas bite. Wasps sting. Ants sting. Mites bite. Bed bugs bite. Which is it?
Fleas jump, and they don't hide. Wasps fly, and they don't hide. Ants crawl, and they don't hide. Mites crawl, and they don't hide, but you probably won't see them anyway. Bed bugs crawl, and they hide on or near your bed (or couch). They also leave "processed" blood behind as they move, and leave unsightly blood stains on your sheets and pillow cases. Their bites seem to be in a line (roughly), and you never seem to feel them doing the biting. That is because they hit you with an anesthetic before they bite.
Prevention is difficult, and involves paying close attention when you travel, looking for the tell-tale blood spots on mattresses, box springs, and couches in your room. Keep your luggage as far from the bed as possible, so they don't hitch a ride on it.
Look close. Can you see the bed bugs?
Try this close-up.
