Mary quite deliberately brought home a pair of bedbugs… even knowing what we went through, you cannot imagine how dead those things had to be. She doesn’t just want them dead, she wants them extinct.

They were actually on load from Cornell’s Co-op lab, having recently been distinguished from bat bugs.
