Bed Bugs

[snowwand.livejournal.com]

Just as a general FYI, my boyfriend and I were walking down College Ave the other day and saw a mattress beside a tree with a note saying that it had bed bugs. Some idiot had opened the plastic cover on it and I think someone else tried to take a frame that was probably with it.


So, keep a look out for those nasty little buggers.

Sadly, bedbugs are common enough that mattresses and couches found on the curb should be assumed to have them and left for the garbage truck.

True, but for someone to open a marked item is just dumb. Hopefully the bugs won't make it into Medford ;)

Unless you plan on rolling around on it, I wouldn't be too worried. Bedbugs like to hang out, well, in beds. They're not gonna just make a leap like fleas.
