The thought of bed bugs totally freaks me out. I thought I brought them back from a trip, obsessed over my bedding for a week...bought the 'bed-bug' matress cover etc etc. turns out I went into the attic at the same time and the insulation made me break out...but I did so much research on the subject...I check every room, never put luggage on the floor (and never on my bed when I get home). They can also transfer to your luggage when flying...yep....horrible little creatures. And almost impossible to get rid of. We can't have it both ways....no chemicals = bed bugs. yuck.
