Well, they are bloodsuckers, so I figure they are from the government.
In the original movie "Of Mice and Men", Burgess Meredith called 'em "Pillow Pigeons" - never heard that before and figure it was a 1930s-40s term.

Me too!!! I’m taking a shower in a few moments [at 5 in the afternoon] because I’m itching all over. Funny I wasn’t ichy before reading this article.
You smell funny...
I brought my bedbugs home from the ONLY hotel in the Red River Gorge area, right here in Kentucky.
Luckily, in the midst of eradicating them we went on vacation (Very Carefully!). While we were gone we had a heat wave, a squirrel chewed on the powerline near the house and our electricity went out.
We lost a freezer full of meat, but I think the heat helped some.
MOST people do not react to bedbug bites. That makes it harder to know you have them and much easier to spread.
Praise be to the gods of left-wing politics.
My mom said that during the 30’s she observed the neighborhood ladies getting rid of bedbugs that had infested their house after my grandmother gave shelter to a down on her luck young mother and her baby.
They drug the mattress’ outside in the sunshine and wiped them down really well with rags soaked in gasoline and then left them in the sunshine for hours. apparently that killed them!
Note to self: “along with the other dumb stuff you’ve clicked on over the years, never click on a thread with bed bugs in the title while eating breakfast........”
“Some foreign workers are married to other foreign workers in hotels and, well, is that how they got into hotels? We don’t know.”

“.your disorder is MY disorder. First time laughing at a tagline ! From one SA to another :)”
I owe credit for the tagline to Willie Green. I questioned his intelligence on one of his “rah rah sis boom bah high speed rail” cheer-leading threads. He responded with “Do you suffer from compulsive smart ass disorder?” I think he nailed it, I do indeed. I loved it and made it my tag line.
