During our interactions with our customers we have noticed that Second hand items are one of the top 5 reasons people are bringing Bed Bugs back to their own home and creating infestations in their own homes that could cost Thousands of dollars to eradicate.  We would also include Traveling, staying in Hotels, having quests sleeping over and of course staying at someone  house that already has a Bed Bug infestation  in the top 5.

One of our past customers, Carol bought a TV for $15, months later Carol paid us $3,000 to eradicate bedbugs from her home.  This is becoming a very common occurrence and should be avoided at all costs.  Another example, a student bought a mattress from an estate sale, to her surprise she also got BED BUGS.
