Bed Bug Q&A
What's That Bug is a site where you can post pics of your bloodsucking bed-mates, ask questions, and find out general info about the suckers.

Mr. Goldman's dog "Cody" was previously trained to sniff out termites and has recently had his skills upgraded to include bed bugs.
Note: Cody is one of two bed bug detecting dogs in the world, so until these two breed, it will be really tough for many hotels to take advantage of the dog sniffing thing.
