Bought a new sofa home. A few days later with her husband noticed that red spots appear on the body, which itch terribly. It’s winter outside, so there can’t be mosquitoes. We examined their purchase, and there are bed bugs. They called the pest control. He advised a thorough preparation and made detailed recommendations. Six months passed after processing, bugs were no longer met.
