Bed bugs hit Springfield

Thanks to Sherry Glick at the U.S. EPA for a heads up on the latest pop culture nod to the lowly bed bug.  In case you missed it, like I did, the Simpson's episode last night featured bed bugs.  If you didn't respect the bed bug's capacity to wreak havoc before, you will after watching this clip.

And many thanks to FOX network for reminding us all that April 22-28 is Bed Bug Awareness Week.  Personally I was having a hard time thinking of ways to celebrate national bed bug awareness, but now I have something to look forward to.  I will be looking to watch the rest of the "Pest Week Ever" episode on the Internet.
