Last night we found an unexpected house guest in our bed. Looks like the bed bug problem that has been plaguing the area has finally hit our building.

However, I really don’t think that it’s just us. The specimen that we found was fully grown (which apparently takes quite a bit of time) and we haven’t seen any symptoms of an infestation at all. Two people moved onto our floor in the last 45 days. I’m near certain that we just found a tourist from the colony down the hall.

When I spoke with my landlord (he swore a lot) he mentioned fumigation on Friday. Looks like we’ll be starting off the Christmas season with a little bit of industrial poison.
