Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 This morning on " Good Morning America, " there was a segment on bedbugs. It appears that they are a real problem these days in hotels (even the " good " ones) and homes. The pest control people (in New York, anyway) say the " threat " has tripled this past year. This could be a problem when traveling, as critters could get in the suitcase and travel with you, thus spreading the problem. The little vampires can consume up to 6 times their weight. What can someone do to protect themselves? They said to have the problem professionally treated. I have seen a recommendation to sprinkle neat lavender oil on the bed as a deterrent to the critters. Does this really work? Or a blend of something else? Thank you! Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
