Bed Bugs

2007.12.28 - 1:57 PM

There are several means by which dwellings can become infested with bedbugs. People can often acquire bedbugs at hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfasts, thanks to increased domestic and international tourism, and bring them back to their primary domiciles in their luggage. They also can pick them up by adding infested furniture to their household either via purchase or "dumpster diving". If someone is in a place that is severely infested, bedbugs may actually jump onto and be carried by people's clothing, although this is atypical behavior — except in the case of severe infestations, bedbugs are not usually carried from place to place by people on clothing they are currently wearing. Finally, it is extremely common for bedbugs to travel in multi-unit dwellings (such as condominiums and apartment buildings) from unit to unit, after having been originally brought into the building by one of the above techniques.

I had bed bugs in Montreal and it SUCKED. The only way we managed to get rid of them was to stick all of our clothing, bed covers etc outside in the cold for 2 weeks, and then seal every crack of the house, and then have exterminators in. We were lucky we lived in Montreal, and that it happened in the winter, because the cold really does kill the little fuckers. Do NOT underestimate these things!
