Gross!
Bedbugs have infiltrated even some of the nicest hotels, homes, fluffy beds, yucky beds, and average beds. There seems to be an epidemic of them spreading across the country according to the latest news.
According to the Boston Herald, bedbugs are taking over throughout the city to the horror of many, especially in the Back Bay and South End where people are going out of their way to keep their critter crisis on the down low.
The Boston Herald reports that exterminators are told to show up in unmarked vehicles at times when neighbors won’t be able to catch on to what’s going on, as the clients pay huge sums of money to rid these creepy crawlies from their posh homes.

What really gives me the heebie-jeebies is that I’ve spent the night in most of these cities! No! They weren’t brought by me! I check my mattresses regularly – even when I go to hotels. Evidently they’re pretty easy to spot in the folds of the mattress. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, here’s what to look for:
The bedroom and other sleeping areas should be carefully examined for bed bugs and signs of bed bug activity. Folds and creases in the bed linens, and seams and tufts of mattresses and box springs, in particular, may harbor bed bugs or their eggs. They may also be found within pleats of curtains, beneath loose areas of wallpaper near the bed, in corners of desks and dressers, within spaces of wicker furniture, behind cove molding, and in laundry or other items on the floor or around the room.
I hope you don’t find any!
