| To avoid bedbugs, wash bedding regularly at a high temperature and replace old mattresses and pillows regularly. |
| In the last couple of months I have been bitten by bedbugs and had to deal with this problem. |
| But I've stayed in worse places, at inns with mattresses that had to be checked for bedbugs. |
| Over the last two years, the city's shelters and rooming houses have gradually become severely infested with bedbugs. |
| Up to a quarter of an inch in size, bedbugs feed when it's dark, piercing your skin while you're sleeping and gorging themselves on your blood. |
| One of the bedbugs even managed to stay latched on behind my left knee for the drive back to Dublin. |
