Bedbugs

I picked a topic and will keep saying short blurbits about it until some group of people find out that bedbugs are real.  I have been asked a million of the same five questions over the past few months.

Here goes
 How do I get bedbugs?  I answer go where bedbugs live and bring one home.
How do I get rid of bedbugs?  Remove them from where you are.
Where do they come from?  Somewhere out there.
I am not a dirty person, why do I have bedbugs?  Well I give them a blank stare, walk over last years pile of laundry and then answer, dirty or cluttered what is the differnce.  You have bedbugs and you need to clean every item of clothing and place them in garbage bags...

Bedbugs the hottest topic in bugs.  Yes they are real and yes I as a Pest Control Technician has seen an increase in them.  I have been ready a lot about the how and best practices on how to prevent and rid your life of bedbugs.

The best way to get rid of bedbugs is to not get them in the first place.  Keeping bedbugs out of ones stuff is easier than one might think.  First beware of your surrounding.  Think about where you go everyday and what you do.

Bed bugs everywhere

What should one do.  I think there is as much information on bedbugs as the bedbugs themselves.  One site says to this and other says do the opposite.  What is one to do. 
First Don't panic.
2nd Don't panic.

I will keep trying to post what I think are the best options and ways to minimize the risk of bedbugs but until then.  Just wait.  Please comment if you have questions, that may be the best way to get this conversation started.
