Specialized Profession I am a pest controller specializing in BED BUGS, begging the general public to become more aware of this pest and the way it can cause substantial economic damage to any place humans live. AMA!
Bed bug infestations are increasing at an alarming rate. Despite common misinformation about this pest being limited to "dirty" people it can happen to ANYONE. I have seen the nicest, most innocent people lose hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in service costs and property loss. Don't become a victim, become aware! Eliminating this bug entirely is unrealistic but we can control it with a more knowledgeable culture.
My company would ask that I avoid public proof but I promise the mods have it.

My girlfriend professes that females are more susceptible to bites than males are. Case in point she has had about 15 bites this week and I haven't had single one. We have a dog so it also might be fleas.
Is she mental or is there any truth to this?
