Well, I do not mean they are likely to carry disease (at this time, this has not been proven).

If they got out in your home, everyone who knows you would be at risk.

To most with infestations, I’m sure that is discusting, but I find it amazing how many BB are in such a small area.
I have been searching for some time,to no avail to aquire some BB for study & research. Any suggestions?

Well, I am not sure if youtube requires you to allow cookies. But I’d try allowing them.

nobugsonme,
Yes that makes me glad too.
Safari and/or FireFox. Also I am not able to access through your “here” link, the company denied access. I need to see this. Any ideas?

LtDan,
I am on a Mac too. I am glad to find we are in agreement about our operating system.

What web browser are you using?
Anyway, you can also view the videos here: it is the first two videos that are listed.

I would love to see this but I am not able to access it. I am on an apple with 10.4.8 operating system. Is anyone else having this problem?
