Bed Bugs

[Daz]

Saw a piece on the local news last night that suggests we may all have some rather unwelcome guests at home.

Apparantly bed bugs are making a comeback, and spread by jumping from one host to another on buses etc.

The thing the piece failed to say was how to tell if you have them and what to do to get rid.......

[Sherlock]

The piece did mention that you would see the bite marks, and on some people the site swells very much like a flea bite I would think.

To get rid of them they said that they were becoming more imune to the poisons, but Sheffield University(I think it said) are working on the problem.

[Daz]

I did hear the bit where it said they were immune to some poisons.

But it didn't say what or where to get it.

Everytime I get a spot now I'll be thinking bed bugs lol

No it did'nt or even what kind, as they have a similar living style to fleas do you think an household flea spray may work?

if it possibly would, you would have to make sure that you sprayed it right into to creases, folds and seems of the furniture because that is where they hide.

Wikipedia makes an interesting read.

Apparantly spiders find them tasty!

[Sherlock]

No wonder we have massive spiders then
