I live in fear. The bed bugs. Are literally. Everywhere. Theyre in my bed, my furniture, my chair at work, the conference room. Theyre on that guy next to me on the subway, and that girl sitting over there. Hey, get away from me. Did you just touch me? I hope you didnt. Im sending you my dry cleaning bill.

I am tormented. Every night I lie awake, feeling the sheets for them, popping the covers up fast to surprise them as they launch their attack. I reach down to scratch my leg. Whats that bump? Oh man, its a bug! Oh wait, its a birthmark. But whats this I feel by my foot? Oh lord, its a bug! Oh wait, its a microbial speck of lint. Only, is it? No! Oh wait, yes.

Ive pretty much ceased shopping (an unexpected and positive side effect) and I inspect the seams of seat cushions in taxis (this, on the other hand, is generally inadvisable). Just thinking about them gives me hives, which I become convinced are bites, which gives birth to new hives, and so on and so forth. This cannot go on.

Heres the thing: I dont actually have bed bugs. As far as I know, they are not now nor have ever been in my apartment. But they could be! I had a brush with them in a mistake of a hotel in Washington, D.C., and I managed to leave them there. But I feel like I just dodged a Nina-seeking missile. Did you ever see Final Destination? You cant cheat deathor bed bugs. Its only a matter of time.

Bedbugs force Burlington City woman out of home

Posted: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 11:15 am | Updated: 12:40 pm, Wed Mar 14, 2012.

BURLINGTON CITY Moynelle Michael-King had lived in her Taylor Avenue home for five years when she suddenly got unexpected roommates.

Six-legged ones.

A mass of bedbugs invaded her house, which is half of a double, in July 2010. They crawled through cracks in the walls, skittered across the floor when she turned on a light, and dropped on her as she slept.

I couldnt even put my hand in a drawer, said Michael-King, an Army veteran who works as a music teacher.

Named for their proclivity for hiding around the bed, the bloodsucking parasites are brown and to 3/8 inches long. They can lurk in the seams of chairs and couches, between cushions, and in the folds of curtains. They come out to feed on blood about every five to 10 days, but can survive for more than a year without feeding, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The critters have driven Michael-King out of her home.

So far, the problem has cost her $5,000 in extermination fees and lost personal items she has had to ditch. While shes thankful to be staying with friends in Robbinsville, the commute to her job in the Camden School District has only added to the toll, and shes still paying $1,400 a month for her mortgage.

Michael-King said the infestation which also includes roaches started about the same time that a revolving door of roommates took up residence next door. Strong cooking odors came from next door, construction noises rumbled, and mattresses were left leaning against the side of the house, she said.

She turned to the city for help.

A&E Network Premieres the New Original Real Life Series "Rambug" Following a Family of New York City Exterminators on …

A&E NETWORK PREMIERES THE NEW ORIGINAL REAL LIFE SERIES "RAMBUG" FOLLOWING A FAMILY OF NEW YORK CITY EXTERMINATORS ON SATURDAY, APRIL 28 AT 10PM ET/PT

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 13, 2012 - A&E Network presents a new real life series about a brawny group of hard-working, over-the-top Italian exterminators from Brooklyn who dress in camouflage and wage war on the city's nastiest critters. "Rambug" premieres Saturday April 28 at 10 PM ET/PT on A&E.

Robbie "Rambug" is the burly but loveable owner of Rambug Pest Control. With the help of his eccentric team, which consists of actual family members and friends who have been around so long they feel like family, Robbie runs one of the most successful extermination businesses in New York City. This offbeat, macho team rides around town in a truck with a giant cockroach mounted to the top and fearlessly battles everything from rats to roaches to bed bugs... to each other- Rambo style.

The Rambug Pest Control team is led by Robbie and supervised by his older brother Ralph. They both ultimately answer to their traditional Italian mother Mimi. The general manager of the business is Big Rob, who struggles to juggle his work duties, his relationship with office manager Rose and being a father to an often impertinent Lil Rob, who also works at the company. Lil Rob's best friend and wingman James and rat-trapper extraordinaire Steve round out the Rambug crew.

In the premiere episode, "The Bug Stops Here," when Lil Rob slacks off at work, Robbie forces his dad Big Rob to step in. All hell breaks loose when Lil Rob threatens to fight his supervisor Ralph. At the end of the day, for this unconventional band of brothers, Rambug isn't just a job... it's a family.

"Rambug" is produced by Michael Levitt Productions for A&E Network. Executive producers for Michael Levitt Productions are Michael Levitt and Jill Goularte, with Curnal Achilles Aulisio as Co-Executive Producer. Executive producers for A&E Network are David McKillop, Elaine Frontain Bryant and Lily Neumeyer.
