Are you kidding me????? my son still has HORRIBLE red welts all over his neck and face. it has been over a week now and they look like they are getting worse.... What if he had an anaphilactic reaction while we all were sleeping????????????? I am just so so dissapointed... So just check everything before you get too cozy, the room may look clean but you never know what could be hiding in the cracks... This was def a learning experience.

Why? Because the Caribbean Beach Resort, where I was going to stay, had reports of BB's. When I read that the guests were moved to a different resort in the complex, I realized that the BB's were probably simply being spread around. While my airline tickets are non-refundable, I did get a 100% refund for the reservations at Disney World. I couldn't tell the nice woman that I was canceling because I read that there were BB's at the place, but I know I should have. I went to Disney for the first time back in 2001, and encountered about 10+ bites on my legs, but thought they were flea bites. I told the management about it, and they said they sent someone to look, but couldn't find anything. They told me I was probably bit by sand fleas. Now, armed with this information, I'm thinking that those weren't fleas at all, but BB's, and I think I dodged a bullet that time. I felt that my luck might be running out. Our house is older and has a cadzillion nooks and crannies for BB's to hide in; we'd never get them out. I don't know what we'd do, financially. Sure, I understand that BB's are an industry-wide problem, and I love to travel, but I just wouldn't have a good time knowing that we could bring such a plague home from what is supposed to have been a care-free time. We may get the buggers anyway, but at least we won't have done it giving that much money to an industry that has all the resources in the world at their command to figure out a way to get rid of this pestilence.

Bed bugs are here to stay. Be advised to find a truly excellent pest control company, one that does specialty work, not just simple spray and go services or large companies with technicians that are poorly trained.
