Topic: Bed Bugs

There has been a lot of reports of bed bugs all over North America, including many 5 star hotels. I'm wondering if this problem has ever hit the cruise ships, and with the turn over of passengers, how they keep on top of this issue.

Yuk Just clicked on wikipedia link. I'm off to steam clean/vacuum all our mattresses & then go buy some cockroaches...... sorted :p:p:p

This is our bedbug...far nicer than the real thing.

You know how you grow up thinking that some things have been obliterated for ever, like smallpox.....or bubonic plague, which still catches people out in southern USA.
In the early '70s, my friend returned from a weekend in a London hotel, covered in bites, and she'd seen the little pests in the bed....
I've checked ever since...

I have memories of these little bedfellows whilst in Egypt. We used to put tin lids with parrafin in them under each bed leg to stop them crawling up the legs of the bed.
