More bugs...can you believe it?

Judah was getting bitten so we had told the manager where we are staying and they brought in the dogs. Turns out we have bed bugs in our room! Did we bring them with us? I can't imagine how. We were crazy careful. Did everything we were supposed to plus. Barely brought anything with us and our car checked out clean from the dogs. But, out of four rooms that showed bed bug activity one was ours and another was the wall next to ours. I hate these horrible things. So the wonderful place we are staying just shelled out 600.00 a room to freeze the bugs and eggs. The cost of getting rid of these things is extremely overpriced. But, what can you do? It wasn't the first time for them and it won't be the last. We didn't cause all the rooms to have bugs even if we did cause them in our room and quite possibly this is where we got them in the first place. However, I feel horrible about the whole thing. I'm not really wanting to name where we are staying for their privacy based on this bed bug thing but, if you know then remember them in your donations. They are trying to help families like us and the cost of keeping their rooms bug free comes out of money they need to do other things. Meanwhile Jim is setting traps in our home to see if we do still have them...ugh.

  1. As a social worker I went to a bed bug training a few years ago and learned for a few hours about these bugs. We even passed around dead ones... They referenced things like http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R1FL7TRI3ZXPZI those covers as a way to help yourself.
