Cimex - Bedbugs

Bedbugs are what we do best. The bedbug, or in some situations the batbug, lives in cracks and crevices in your home. Bedbugs are fast, extremely hard to get rid of, and slowly metabolizing and becoming immune to standard pest control materials. They can live for over one year on a bite. There are also rumors of bedbugs carrying hepititus and MRSA.
