Our house had never been so clean, not even when it was new. But it got rid of the problem. Now our cats stay inside. S.P.

Spiders don't typically bite people while sleeping, and you totally want them around to get rid of the more troublesome bugs, so I say relax. That, or hire an exterminator. We retain one on call.

We got them after 16 years in the same home (and with buying new mattresses from a nice showroom every time). All it takes is for one to hitch a ride home on someone's bag or clothing.<br /><br />They have an anesthetic in their saliva. You don't feel the bite. They usually come out in the wee hours of the morning, bite you, then hide again. Flip your box springs over. <br /><br />The bites...<br />http://www.aad.org/Image%20Library/For%20the%20Public/Dermatology%20A%20-%20Z/Bed_bug_bites_1.jpg<br />The bugs...<br /><br />http://news.streetroots.org/sites/default/files/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/bed-bugs-crawling-on-mattress_1952x1944.jpg<br /><br />And burning the bed won't help. They can hide in the walls.<br />Call the exterminator and brace your checkbook. $$$$Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-34836014550928740142014-07-30T12:09:56.384-05:002014-07-30T12:09:56.384-05:00I'm with you.
