There's an exterminator that advertises on cable in NY that uses a DOG to sniff out the bedbugs, which he then freezes to death.

Gudanov, both. I was once a committed lurker, and recently realised I'd missed the goings-on here. Also that pressing the 'post' button was not going to destroy the universe. Probably.

That's what we want you to think.
Kidding, of course. Welcome!

I can entirely believe this. *wibble*
Thanks for the welcome!
The full story of my de-lurkage actually involves two postgraduate students (including me) with a love of all things fandom, one too many beers, a sad deconstruction of life without a forum on which to discuss said things of fandom, and fellow grad student's reminder that this place is still buzzing away with intelligent conversation. Also other types of conversation.
Plus, I'm trying to write a paper on research ethics. Distraction is delightful.

We are SO good for that.

If there is one thing we can do, it's facilitate procrastination.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, dogs are very good at sniffing out bedbugs. The service is expensive, though - as is the freezing.
Did you know that bedbugs can live up to a year and a half without food? Just one of the many exciting facts I've learned recently.
Extreme cleaning guy will be here soon to give me an estimate.
Oh, and hi, Seska!
