Feedback

In the summer, my wife and I went to rest in the Crimea. Inexpensive rented a room at the granny. We thought that we didn’t need the mansions, anyway we’ll only come to sleep. In the morning we woke up with red spots. After a detailed examination revealed that it bedbug bites. I had to look for new housing. But the main problem was not how to move out of the apartment with bedbugs - we found a small cozy house in a quiet, beautiful place very quickly, but that we brought bedbugs in a suitcase home. They were able to determine this after 2 months, when chains of bites again appeared on the body.
