Science in Action!

Well, today, after not seeing a single bug since this started (the roach in my kitchen doesn't count), I caught two bed bugs in the space of 20 minutes - both meandering on my sewing (of all places!) while I was sitting on my couch. Both have now been securely sealed into a glass pyrex bowl, awaiting the time in the future when I may need to produce them as legal evidence of my infestation. See, according to what I've read, evidence of bites (which I have, since I took pictures of them) doesn't constitute proof, but actual physical bugs do, and so I had resolved to contain them as soon as I could, if only I could see and catch them. Both of the ones I captured are juveniles, which doesn't, I fear, bode well for my future - or for my couch, which now has a much greater chance of not surviving this infestation.
Difficult times lie ahead, I fear...

Damn bed bugs. They're gonna have to poison my home, too, and I agree, I don't like it one bit. Still, it sounds like ultimately you got rid of your mice - hopefully I'll have equal luck! ;)
