Interesting article about bedbugs in today's New York Times. "After virtually disappearing for decades, bed bugs have made a comeback throughout the nation," starts "Sleeping With the Enemy (Bed Bugs)," adding that there are "particularly bad infestations in densely populated apartment buildings." As we noted last February, bedbug complaints have soared in New York City.

The Times' story notes some households spend big bucks to deal with these small creatures—$5,000 or more on the various aspects of dealing with bedbugs, including inspections, extermination, cleaning, and more. If you're traveling this summer, be sure you don't bring bedbugs home with you. And if you think you've got an infestation, try these steps to get rid of them. e-mail | Twitter | Forums | Facebook
