									Avoid Budget Inn in Luray VA. They have BED BUGS!

Last weekend I drove to Luray VA to resupply and shuttle around Stylin and a friend. They are section hiking and taking a nearo. We decided to staying at Budget Inn on W Main St. 1st half the lights, A/C and refrigerator didn’t work. 2nd we killed a few roaches and 3rd when we woke up there are was bed bug on the bed with us. Yes if did feed on one of us, not sure who but it was full of blood. I was lucky to see it, that way I knew to quarantine everything and try to prevent infesting my home. When we informed and showed (dead and crushed) the manager, he merely stated that they use to have a problem with them but not anymore, like the dead bed bug wasn’t enough proof.

So stay away from that place, yes it’s cheap but paying to have your whole house treated will more than make up for the savings, not to mention the bites. Remember, bed bugs can survive months without food.

									Blech is right!  The only "good thing" (using the term very loosely) is that they aren't a vector of disease. :rolleyes  (That we know of)

									That is unbelievable that they said they don't have a problem anymore. I wonder what he considers an infestation. I hate bed bugs. I moved in to an apartment that had them and it was a nightmare. They would relocate us because they didn't want us to take the bed bugs with us. We had to have a buy guy "bug bomb" the place and spray like 3 different times, not to mention replace our mattresses before they went away. However, they seemed to just flee and go to my next door neighbors apartment. Miserable...
