Did reading this post title make you itchy? Bed bugs are no joke and you can bring them home from vacation because some hotels are infested with them. Without even knowing you are transporting home some unwelcome tourists, they will make their presence known when they set up their new residence, in your mattress! Yuck, I know but I have heard it happen to more and more people.
College dorms have also experienced bed bug infestations. So if prevention is the best defense, play the Orkin #BedBugFeud Game and test your bed bug knowledge to see if you are keeping a clean bed in 2015! Play the game and beat the clock to make it on the leaderboard! Hint: Use the “Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite” PDF as a cheat sheet.

I only had one experience with bed bugs and it was at a hotel we stayed in while in Florida. We noticed stains on the sheets right away and complained. We ended up leaving that hotel and finding a new one for the night.
I haven’t had a bed bug horror story and I make sure to wash my bed sheets and blankets weekly to keep my bed fresh and clean!
Thank goodness I don’t have a story about my house. I have however helped someone move from a place that had bed bugs. I was so freaked out that I might bring some back that I took a shower at my other friends and threw away the outfit I wore. Yeah it might be a little paranoid, but After seeing the Dateline or 20/20 (not sure what show) I am going to actively try to prevent bringing any home. Hotels are super scary too!
I only got 125. I was trying to think as fast as I could. Some things I just could not think of.
I got 300 but that is because I knew so little about them.
I scored a 235.
I only scored 60!
My score was 110
I played the game & I scored 115! Thanks for all the info.! I learned a lot!

i dont have a personal story about bed bugs, but my good friend told me once how she was out all night and fell asleep in a hotel room bed and in the morning woke up and realized that the bed was covered in bed bugs, OH how horrible…my skin is crawling just thinking about. I couldnt imagine sleeping all night in those, GROSS!
