Did you ever notice that the bug sprays are in the same part of the supermarket as the religious candles?

No! Everyone can have bedbugs. However, I do feel wealthy people who have bedbugs might be less likely to admit it.

It’s worth noting none of these sprays are labeled for bed bugs, but it is true many will try and use them for bed bugs anyway.
