bed bug spray | eBayMy husband was out of the country when we started to have some problems with bed bugs. I didn’t know what to do at that time so just grabbed a couple of bed bug spray I could find at the local hardware store. I went on to spray it all over the house and particularly in the bedroom where I found a couple of bugs crawling under the bed. It gave me such a fright because I knew what bed bugs are capable of doing.

After a week, it seems to be getting worst since the kids somehow developed an allergic reaction wit the bed bugs and they soon had big red welts all over their arms and body. I was already frantic that time so I called in the pest control company to keep them away for good. It was then I was able to find out the extent of damage that the bed bugs have done around the house. Good thing I called in the experts for bed bug control in time before they did any more damage to the house and our belongings.
