We dealt with a lot of these at my old job (providing supportive housing for the formerly homeless).

Beware shopping at thrift stores and traveling abroad!

Oooh, I watched a Dateline special about bedbugs. So hard to get rid of once they get into your house. They hide so well. I fear bringing these suckers home with me in my luggage when I stay in a hotel.
