Mr. Bedbug

There is currently an increase in bedbug infestations 
due to an increase in foreign travel.
Bedbugs, hide during the day to feast at night.

They inject an anticoagulant into their host 
to keep its blood flowing as the insect feeds, 
as well as an anesthetic agent 
to keep the host from feeling the bite.

A number of products can control bedbugs 
but the difficult part is finding the bedbugs 
so that they can be effectively treated.

Due to bedbugs desire to avoid light 
and fondness for tight spaces
they are often difficult to detect.

However political campaigns 
are always  a good starting place 
in finding such blood-suckers.
