Bed Bugs Don’t Care How Clean You Are – Call Roscoe If You Suspect Itchy Trouble

One of the biggest misconceptions about bed bugs is that they’re a sign of a dirty home. They’re not. Bed bugs don’t care if your house is spotless. They don’t care if you stayed at a five-star hotel. They don’t care if your kid’s dorm room is brand new. They don’t care how often you

The Odyssey, Spider-Man and Bed Bugs: The Summer Movie Villain Nobody Wants

It’s been a pretty good summer to go to the movies. Christopher Nolan took audiences back to ancient Greece with The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day swung into theaters. If you haven't seen them- go! And because we’re Bell Environmental, watching Odysseus fight his way home and Spider-Man save the day naturally made us
