IT'S A BUG'S LIFE

Here's a good Monday morning "gross out."

If you read my column on Wednesday in the Community section, you know I've written about bed bugs before. But with families getting ready to take summer vacations, I thought I'd put out another little warning.

These creepy, crawly creatures are as close as your nearest hotel, even the clean, four- AND five-star ones at that.

Make sure you check mattress crevices for bed-bug poop before you bed down. If it's there, so are the 3 a.m. night stalkers.



For more information on the bugs, go to Cooper Pest Solution's Web site or
listen to New York Public Radio's Leonard Lopate show from 12:40 -1:00 p.m. today.


Get a leg up on them before they get you. Check out this blood-feeding video.
