it's the worst he's ever seen. Thank god I found out just after I laid down, my hubby had got in bed breofe me (10 min) but I'm a fidgety sleeper so I'd only been in for maybe another 10 breofe I opened my eyes and saw it on my pillow, jumped out of bed and flicked on a light and threw back covers. My hubby was literally surrounded! We jumped in the shower and threw away a lot of our stuff so didn't bring them home. I'm scarred for life and we have to go to Columbus Ohio in a few weeks, I'm terrified since I've recently discovered this city has a major infestation problem. Do you know of a hotel that's safe? Don't care how much it costs as long as it's bug free (shudder). |
