Thecarl I appreciate you responding. I'm not taking it personally lol but I know the mindset of some here in the Metro area.All to often something like this is used as a pole to bash Detroit proper. While I no longer live in Detroit I'm beyond tired&angry at the constant Detroit bashing.
I'm so very glad you mentioned NY. I well remember hearing of that city's brush[[battle?)with bedbugs.
So these bugs aren't hikers,at least not as bad as I've made them out to be in my worried imagination?
Thanks so much Thecarl
