​There's now a machine that detects bed bug farts ("gas emissions," but that means farts basically, and farts are funny).

The BBD-100 is a personal handheld bed bug detector that resembles an '80s teen movie prop and "is so sensitive that it will detect if even just one bed bug is hiding within six inches of the unit's probe."

Paranoid New Yorkers will find the BBD-100's cost of $299 a small price to pay for knowing whether or not, and to what extent, bed bugs are farting in your house.

Bedbugs are winning the fight in America.

Bedbugs were practically wiped out in the Fifties due to the widespread use of DDT, which has subsequently been proscribed.

It took them forty to fifty years to recover, but in 1995 they started their comeback.

In 2004, there were 82 instances of bed bugs in New York, but only five years later, in 2009, that figure had mushroomed to 10,985.
