My cousin just came back from her trip, and her, her husband and her two kids all had to go to the Doctor for welts they had all over their bodies, UGGHHH it was bed bug bites! She was freaked because she had no experience with bed bugs before and she said the itching was crazy and had NO CLUE what the welts were.

She complained to the hotel and spoke to the manager. But I'm afraid that the resort will do nothing about it....I really like the Caribbean Beach but now I don't want to stay there!

Hey Daneault...don't worry about him he was actually trying to insult Nova Scotia. Obviously he's never seen a map of Canada or he doesn't know ANYTHING east of Manitoba.

He's actually from Alberta apparently but I guess he's had too many sleepless nights with his special gal Daisy (can you say mooooooo) and he's a little off his rocker

Tell you what, since you're apparently dirty, :shrug: I'll send you a bar of soap and you can send him a map of Canada and I'm sure he'll just send me poorly thought out insults and we'll all be even.

Would you like strawberry soap or coconut?

LOL now that's funny. You get upset at a person who sets us back 50 years in civial rights for singling out a particular group yet here you are, twice now doing the same. If you had felt you just had to reply to my original post, that you just had to do it then why not send a private message? Easy, you were feeling hurt because I had picked on you and you wanted to show me up even though you stated in your reply that you didn't want to start an argument with me, Geesh you really can't keep your philosophical opinions in tune can you? Did you get your philosophy from a bumper sticker?

You also picked on a larger group of people by stating my perceived sexual preference by using "his gal Daisy", I would happen to be a gay man so once again you are contradicting your philosophy of targeting groups, AGAIN.

As for you, Daneault you’re right pretty much everything east of Manitoba is forgettable especially when you sing soccer songs at your hockey games, right Les Habitant? Soyez prudents que vous devenez furieux, ce lion a un rugissement grand. :ROFLOL:

my...my...I didn't need that visual :lookaroun I guess that's why I see so many guys scratching down there...must be the darn chiggers :lol:

I have never even heard of them...are they in warmer climates? I have heard of midges (sp?) from when I lived in Scotland and this time of year in Canada there are areas that are pretty bad for deer ticks but that's a new one.

Great...one more bug to worry about. They should be educating me about these in the theatre under the Tree of Life shouldn't they? :shrug:

Once upon a time, I worked on the Disney Internation Program, and had the (mis?)fortune of living with folks from China, Norway x 2, Italy, Canada, Japan, South America, Mexico and the UK.

From personal experience, and from my friends experience - I can definatly tell you the dirtiest cultures that we lived with... but i won't. :zipit:


In anycase, for a period of time our apartment had BEDBUGS!!! I was sitting on my bed one day, in the mid afternoon and noticed a little brown bug next to me. He was just hanging out, so i squished him - and low and behold blood came out. Lots of blood.

I found that odd - and read up a bit online about them. Then i stripped my bed and found a few hundread of them living in my box spring, around the bed frame, in the carpet under the bed, along the baseboards, behind my posters on my walls, in some of my folded clothing in my closet.

Needless to say, I was very disgusted. After three months of a pathetic attempt of our pest control team at erradicating them (and with me showing up to work with some on me one day :eek:) i finally moved apartments.

Before i moved, i washed EVERYTHING i owned in hot water and dried it in the hottest setting and then immediatly moved it to the new apartment. I also cleaned by hand all my belongings with lysol before moving them. It took a few days, but i am bedbug FREE! My other roommate, who just moved his stuff - wasnt so lucky and has since infested 3 other apartments....

...sigh...

They are little tiny bugs. I didn't know anything about them until one day I couldn't figure out what the problem was. We were living in Missouri at the time and I mowed the lawn. They like to hang out in bushes,trees and grass. So when I would walk under a tree or thru a bush they would jump on me and work their way on to my skin. They like warm dark places. I finally would soak any exposed skin and let's face it I sprayed at the bottom of my shorts and sleeves. I would use a 1/2 can of bug spray every time I mowed the lawn. It looks like I forgot to mention, they hang on and keep feeding so I would have to slather myself with alcohol on all the bites to kill them off. I was not a happy person that summer.


Just talking about all these bugs is making me itch.

And the origin of the first part of "Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite" refers to the ropes strung between the bed frame to support a straw ticking mattress. Those ropes had to be tighten periodically or the bed would sag uncomfortably. Thus, sleep (with your ropes) tight and don't let the bedbugs bite!

I know, I am a complete dweeb.

No time to read pages 2 and 3, but this came up around Christmas when Movies had bedbugs.

Bedbugs are on the rise due to restrictions in pesticide formulations. They are everywhere.

The worst news is, if you've stayed in a room that has them, you're probably going to take them home with you.

What to do? Before taking your luggage in the room, lift the mattress. If there are dark red streaks and spots, that's squished bedbugs. If you want to really check, lift the headboard and see if there are any spots behind it. Don't accept a room with either.

Don't place your luggage on the floor or put your clothing in the dresser. Keep your luggage on top of the dressers and your clothing in it.

When you get home, if you want to be safe, leave your car in the sun and your luggage in the car. After a day in that heat, any bedbugs will be dead. One warning, you can carry them in on the clothing you're wearing. If you're really freaked out, strip in the garage. Put your clothing in a plastic bag and transfer it directly to the washer. You can put your shoes back in the car (hopefully after putting on clean clothing) so they'll roast, too.

If two resorts have had them this year, all the resorts probably have them. It's a roll of the dice...you may get an infested building, you may not.

Rule #1 for hotel rooms: (see above). Rule #2: never think about what other human beings (beside yourself) have done in the room before you got there. Rule #3: never think about #1 or #2 or you'll :hurl:.

Bedbugs in a room simply means that someone who "has" bedbugs stayed in that room at some point in the past. It does not denote a dirty room or poorly-run resort.

I'd guess that every single hotel in the USA, from the snootiest Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton to the humblest Motel 5 (not good enough to be a Motel 6) has had some rooms with bedbugs at least once.
