We all dislike it when insects find their way into our homes. It always happens when we least expect it, doesn’t it? There’s always that initial groan when we see a bug in our house and we need to somehow get it out of the building.
But what happens when the bug is in our beds? Yes, if you didn’t know, bed bugs are a thing and certainly not fun to see or deal with. Yes, they even visit the Lone Star State, as much as we wish they had never shown up.
