Bedbugs can eat seven times their own weight in one sitting.

Seriously, these are the most awesome critters ever. I still want them out of my house, of course - but trust me, these things will outlast us all. (By about 18 months.) And if it weren't for the fact that they're bloodsucking fiends, I'd totally be on a "save the bedbugs" campaign.

I kinda want to metaquote this.

Aaagh, I feel your pain. :( We had bedbugs in an apartment I lived in about 18mo ago. It was AWFUL. The landlords didn't take it seriously, so instead of treating the entire building as a whole, they treated room by room whenever someone called them. There was a guy living in a tent in his bedroom because he was so freaked out about it. The landlords had to buy us a new bed.

Anyway, we eventually moved, but it really was four months of hell. Good luck in getting rid of them - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
