Although rain during a holiday weekend is never what most people like to see, recent rainfall totals have surely taken a bite out of the drought conditions.

New Study Shows One North Dakota City Is Crawling With Bed Bugs
You probably grew up with your parents telling you, "Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite." Bed bugs were a common occurrence in America back in the early 1900s.

As more and more immigrants moved to America from third-world countries in the late 1900s and the early 20th century, we have once again seen a bed bug explosion in America.
