Bed bugs are one of the great comeback stories of the 21st Century. Great, that is, if you’re a bed bug. If you’re trying to get a good night’s sleep without being part of the blue-plate special on a parasite buffet, there’s nothing great about it. Nearly eradicated in the 1950s, bed bugs have made a resurgence since 2000, and can be quite hard to get rid of.
As winter approaches and the mercury begins to drop, there’s nothing like snuggling on the couch under your favorite quilt, and enjoying your central heating. Unfortunately, if you don’t take the right precautions, you might find yourself sharing parts of your home with uninvited guests such as squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and bats seeking out a warm place of their own.
