sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite


I have a problem.  As I am drifting to sleep in any hotel bed, the only thing I can think about is bed bugs...disgusting little blood-sucking bed bugs.  Apparently, bed bugs are on the rise around the world, even in the fanciest of hotels.  The longer I lay awake in bed, the more I think about them.  Thinking about them makes me itchy and fidgety. So, to distract myself from bed-bug thoughts last night, I bought the Where's Waldo? app.  It was fun...and addictive.  By the time I finished playing under the blanket, I was too tired to think about bed bugs and  fell right to sleep.  Maybe if I trained Scout to sniff the BBs out upon arrival, I could have peace of mind at any hotel.  Then, I could start my own bed-bug finding company and Scout could start earning money to pay for his own vet bills in the future.  Yes, this sounds like a good plan.  Now, just to figure out how to train him to find bed-bugs....okay all this bed-bug talk is making me itchy again so I better stop. 
You should be happy to see Waldo rather than a bed-bug pic :0)

  1. Oh girl! Do you remember my bed bugs story?? I had just spent WAY too much money on a townhouse in FL and go to put new sheets on my "fully furnished" place....tear off the old sheets and what did I find....BED BUGS!!! Ouch....I ALWAYS check for bedbugs now. It's pretty easy, pull up the sheets of your hotel room bed and if you see dark staining, get out as soon as possible....bed bugs are there. Clean....you are in the clear! Miss you!

  5. My daughter's bed had bed bugs before. I called an exterminator and results came by pretty fast. Now, we regularly set the mattress out to get some sun to keep the bed free of those pesky bugs.
