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
I think if you had bed bugs, u would have the itchy bumps like your husband does. It is possible the red bumps are from no see ums (tiny almost invisible flying insect). They have been biting on me for the past month. I know this sounds nutty but turn the hair dryer on (hot) and hold it as close as possible to the itchy places and leave for 15-20 seconds. Do not burn yourself, just let it be as hot as u can take it for those seconds. IT WORKS! U might have to repeat in a few hours, but it removes the itch. Hope it helps.
