Have just booked a budget hotel in Rome and am a bit concerned after reading some reviews (for other hotels) about bed bugs. A common issue with budget hotels from what I gather, worldwide. The reviews for the hotel I booked did not mention anything of the kind but I am a bit antsy about it. If I shake out the sheets/towels and spray the room with common fly/ant spray, will it take care of any possible bed bugs? I know they can be quite small to the eye.

Me and my fiance recently found out we have a major infestation of bed bugs. We called the local exterminator. They we giving us an estimate of around ,000. There is no way we can afford that on our pay. Is there anything we can buy at Home Depot, or other stores that can help us get rid of the little bastards? Also what could I do in case they made their way into my computer?

Colin: The user is named Mazen, not Meizin. I think it’s an Arabic name. Not Chinese, and their question was about bed bugs themselves, but mine is about the current outbreak.
