When we first wrote about bed bugs in 2010, it started as a lark on a slow afternoon.
Since then, the creatures have developed into an epidemic infestation. The mere mention of bed bugs strikes fear in the hearts of old and young alike.
No one wants to be exposed to these disgusting insects and most people will go to almost any means to rid their homes, premises or even cars of their habitation. Unfortunately, the methods some people use to rid themselves of bed bugs are not only unorthodox, but also reckless and irresponsible. The results of these haphazard attempts to eliminate bed bugs has had some devastating results to not only the bed bug 'owner' but to surrounding property and persons. There's a lot to know and learn about bed bugs and their treatment, and insurance coverage.
