Bed Bugs Got You Scratching?

ABC News is giving me the itches. They've run a story over the past few days about the resurgence of bed bugs. While I thought the creepy little bugs were extinct, apparently they are causing problems all over the country. More than 90 percent of pest control companies say they have had calls to eradicate bed bugs. An entrepreneurial New Yorker has an entire business built around his dog's ability to sniff the nasty critters out and point to where exterminators need to do their work. Even shopping is no longer a bed bug-free activity as the little buggers have been spotted in several high profile stores including the Victoria Secret store in NYC. I shudder to think of how they discovered that -- did some poor unsuspecting customer alert them after getting bit in an unmentionable area? How awful! Bergdorf Goodman hasn't had any bed bugs but as a precaution has added regular bed bug searches to their ongoing pest control efforts. Living here in the arid high desert of Nevada, I doubt bed bugs will be much of a problem here but who knows if anywhere is safe.
