We caught this bug on my bed and I have a few questions...1) So this is a bed bug right?

But FYI, we were bitten a few times several weeks ago and just assumed it was unusually persistent mosquitoes. [more inside]

A rock band and their crew stay at my home whenever they have a show in our area. I look forward to it every time and would never refuse to have them. How do I prevent them from bringing in bed bugs? How can they prevent contamination during their long tour? Is there a prevention protocol for one night standers? [more inside]

Not another bedbug question: Unidentified bugs in bed, officially not "bedbugs". Can you help me identify them? [more inside]
