Bed Bugs

We have bed bugs!!

We've been living in this new house in Northbridge for 2 weeks now, and over the last week or so, we've been noticing an increasing number of bites on our arms, legs, and torso.

We initially thought they were mosquito bites, but after showing them to a friend, they said they were bed bug bites. So we tok off all the bed clothes and checked the mattress and base for any signs of bed bugs, and sure enough we found some of the little F*ckers!!

They're bigger than I thought. They're like baby cockroaches, or brown woodlice.

Heres a little youtube video showing one in action:

They're such a pain in the ass. Between myself and AnneMarie, we must have about a hundred bites on us. :(
