Bed Bugs: A Nightmare

[Dr. Jones]

mines too heavy. Can't stand up

Oh wait.. this seems like potentially inappropriate content..
For the record, Colton, I was referring to where I carefully place pesticides on ashelf... thoughtfully out of reach of young children..

I apologize for any misunderstanding and am in no way condoning scootsy's insinuations/innuendo.

Weird.. mine normally stands above the belt.

No one wants to hear about your muffin top, PKM.

Batman, I feel for ya. When I served my mission in Brasil, I would wake up, turn on the lights, and the wall would move...hundreds of little black bugs. And my back would be a little bloody from all the bites. I was so happy when I was finally transferred from that area. Appreciate the advice about flea collars. I know bed bugs can be a problem if you travel a lot. Even the higher-end hotels are having problems. On an interesting note, I read that one solution being investigated is to actually make surfaces so slippery that bed bugs won't be able to hang on. I'm assuming this would be the legs of the bed, springs, etc. that would be coated with a substance. I guess it's because there are no pesticides that are 100% effective.

Funny fact about bed bugs: They use so called "traumatic insemination" - male pierces females abdomen and deposits sperm there. Not unusual for female to get killed if male hits at the wrong spot. Other funny fact is that male bed bugs have evolved chemoreceptors on their *******. After impaling a female, the male can "taste" if a female has been recently mated. If he does, he will not copulate as long and will ejaculate less fluid into the female.

I unknowingly transferred them from my apartment to my townhouse. They suck. It took $400 to get rid of them which required 3 separate sprays. I haven't seen one in two years now so I think they're finally gone. Even to this day when I'm barefoot in my house I'll feel like there is something crawling on my feet every now and then, even though it's nothing. I feel your pain.
