They pop pretty easily. Sometimes I just sit in my room and look out the window if I can't sleep, and every once in a while, hop to the lamp, turn it on, and kill five of those motherfuckers before they can scamper.

^ Then you live in a fucking shithole. The only place I've ever seen them was in a 3 dollar a day room in thailand.

^Not true, you can get them anywhere. I have had them before from a nice hotel. They come more often from Europeans that bring them unknowingly in suitcases. They don't live in filth and can go over a year without feeding so they are hard to get rid of. They climb on the ceiling and drop down when they feel heat or carbon dioxide. Sick little fucks and you don't start itching til halfway through the next day. It took over a month for the bites to go away.

Everyone has dust mites all over in your bed that you can't really do anything about, but you really shouldn't have bedbugs. I realize it's possible to unwittingly bring them into your home, but once you know they're there you can get rid of them. If you don't then I think that probably classifies the place you live a "shithole."

They're very difficult to get rid of though. You practically have to tear the place apart and trash your mattress/boxsprings to even think of getting rid of them. Really sucks for the people who unknowingly bring them home from a vacation.

sounds like fleas, but worse...and i hate fleas with a passion

fleabites also take forever to go away...they're like mosquito bites that get crusty with pus and fluid for weeks

^^ I'm sorry, but if I knowingly have bed bugs in my place, it's worth the effort to get rid of them. This is why we have these dudes in our lives:

if you do get an infestation, you pretty much have to rip out all of your carpet, trash your furniture, and all of your clothes, and then have an exterminator come to your house, and agent orange the motherfucker.

This is based on a This American Life podcast from a while back.

No, you don't. If it gets over about 85 degrees where you are at the time just drag the mattress (or whatever's infested) out into direct sunlight. Bed bugs are extremely opposed to high heat, they'll all migrate from the object under very hot sun.
