Bed bugs are a horrible menace. My husband had to deal with them in the 90s, and it took removing himself, the cats, and then bug bombing the house several times with a professional to remove them. He's still anxious about the thought of them coming back, and it's been...since the 90s.

You joke, but bed bugs will break a man. I will happily set fire to my belongings before risking an infestation.

No I meant that only half joking. I know it's horrible. Am old friend got them because her apartment building got completely infested. She told me she threw out all her furniture and washed all her clothes and linens with some special soap. The look on her face told me it was a nasty experience.
