Bedbugs bothering you? Here's what you can do

You wake up with mysterious bite marks on your skin, there are suspicious smears of blood on the double bedsheet, and you feel itchy in the night. Your first thought is that you have a skin infection, but it’s most likely a bedbug infestation. Bedbugs enter the home when you travel, go to the movies, or sit on a bench or seat that has them – they then come inside the house with you and take up residence where they can find a human host to feed on. Most often, you will find them hiding in the bed and sitting furniture. Bedbug infestations are horrible for the home, and they can cause serious skin infections. They are also difficult to control and take weeks of repeated treatment.
