I found out where the bedbugs were hiding... at least some of them.

They were under the hemming on my mattress - you know, the part that sticks out? Join me in saying EWEWEWEWEWWWWWWW!

So yesterday I took some 409 and sprayed the little critters. They don't move that fast, and 409 really does kill them on contact, though this is not a good long-term plan. It was the most fun I've had all week! Very satisfying, spraying them and watching them go into their death throes. I mean, now my mattress has corpses all over it (haven't vacuumed yet, doing that tonight) and it smells faintly of 409, which is sure to be toxic, but still.

With that said, lookylookylookyhere! I can get a bedbug stuffed animal! COOOOOOOOOL! It's much too pink, they seem browner to me, but whatever. I so want one to commemorate the experience.

Your blood is obviously not pink enough

Congratulations on perishing the little bastards. Congratulations also for being one of the very people I've seen who spells "death thros" correctly. (Most people I've seen spell it "throws.") Thank you!

Why, thank you! I always am surprised to see errors in words like that - these people heard the word long before they ever had to write it down. With me, I always mispronounced words because it's the other way around - I read them when I was a kid, and never heard them said until years later.

And Giant Microbes is now my new favorite online store. How awesome!
