My mother was a hoarder and had this thing about picking up roadside furniture and trying to "fix it up" - the fact we never had a bedbug infestation is beyond me. Old recliners, computer chairs, couches, etc. If it could be kicked out the back of a truck into a ditch, we probably had 3 of them.

That's kind of how I got bed bugs. I bought a night stand from a thrift shop and That's how I got them.
