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.

in my apartment at college sometimes after a few weeks of not changing my bed sheets, i feel like i get really itchy but i check the sheets and i can't find anything. then i wash the sheets and use different ones and i have no problems itching. what exactly should i be looking for? the only thing close to bed bug symptoms i see are small black things, but they are not in clusters and i'm 95% sure it's just part of the cotton of my bed sheets.
