It is a rental house we are staying in ....... hopefully not bed bugs. Have never seen reports of these critters here in the Villages and this is a fairly new house we are staying in....2014.

Suggestions and thanks in advance
Bed bugs can show up any where people come and go. Bites are typically in a row, almost resembling welts. I've heard Vicks vaporub can help soothe them.

Check the mattress around the seams for red spots or you could actually see the bugs. If you find them in the rental, wash and dry all laundry in hottest water possible and move out asap! Dr. Casper is very good.

Hope he feels better. If you have a pet, check for fleas.
