One evening, I am about to have my good night sleep. My back and the cheeks of my buttocks became itchy. I just stepped out of shower, “what is happening?” Finally, I opened the light and I asked my mother to check on my back and buttocks. She saw little pink rashes. We immediately applied anti-itch lotion. My mother checked on my bed. She saw these little insects. Oh! I got bed bugs! How will I solve this problem?

It is cheaper than buying bed from the mall. Therefore, one should carefully examine the background of any furniture that will be purchased.

These bugs are cannot be trapped by the adhesive-based traps for sampling insects and rats.
