My roommate at the beginning of last summer brought them into our new apartment with her bed from a vacation condo in the Poconos. She had 30-50 bites and her doctor said that was the worst case he'd ever seen. Those little buggers survived the first fumigation and most of them the second round, too. The extermination guys finally told us to get some silicone to seal up the cracks in the walls and doorframe to trap any hiding ones, to spray with this heavy duty stuff in the cracks and in the rug and to vacuum every day for about a month because that's how often they generally feed and they just hide in tiny crevices until they need to do it again.

*shudder*

I'm glad that's all over now.

I wonder if the hotel is going to sue the pest control company.
