Starting yearly pay for a firefighter is 24k a year (based on the city). Not that I'm saying it's fair to pay for one public servant than the other, but don't make an assumption that fire fighters and police officers make "enough" to pay for extermination, when we barely make enough to feed our family.

If one public servent gets it, then so should every public servent. And what about nurses or other hospital staff? do they count? If you open the door to pay for one group, you better be prepared to open for others, too.

I grabbed it and ran to the kitchen so I could identify it and sure enough, it was a bedbug! A search of the couch pillows and folds found more! I did what a friend did when she had bedbugs years ago. I immediately threw out the couch, and began a laundry campaign and stored all the clean blankets, pillows, clothes, etc. in large garbage bags to keep them from re-contamination. In the meantime, I got three large bottles of 91% rubbing alcohol from Walmart and sprayed everything that didn't move! I didn't see any bugs in the bathroom or bedroom mattress, but I washed and sprayed everything anyway. My floors, beside being sprayed, got a cleaning from my carpet steam cleaner. I have not seen a bug since that night and continue to spray, anyway. One night I found a bug crawling across my pillow as I lay on the couch in the living room.

They make enough to pay for it themselves, I am a single mom who gets no help from anyone & we live off crackers mostly, yet i had to pay $350 for pest control myself three times! How about helping poor single mothers & their kids not get sucked by bed bugs all night? b.t.w. my exterminator says they stay on you 45 minutes to feed at a time. i have not slept all month.
