‘Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite’ – Times-Journal

With the summer months here, many have one thing in mind: vacation. The one time of the year you get to kick off your shoes and take a break from the hustle and bustle that daily life sends your way. Just a week away from your daily routine can leave you feeling revitalized and ready to tackle anything that comes your waywell, almost anything.

Imagine coming home from a week in paradise only to discover that the seashell from your snorkeling adventure was not the only thing you brought back from your vacation. You have little red bites on your legs and cannot imagine what it could be. After a little research, you discover those bites are from bed bugs.
