BTW, have they said anything other than they have bb? They want something? Anything like that? Or were they just being nice and telling you they think you have a problem?
Hard to tell in an email.
Are they asking for a response back from you?.
No, asked for nothing. Here is her e-mail.
[COLOR= black]Hi Kathleen: We have a rather unwelcome Christmas present ... bed bugs. We definitely didn't have them in Canada and stayed in 2 places on the drive down. The timing of the bites beginning works for having picked them up enroute. I am sending an email also to the other inn. So, I want to give you a heads up as you should probably check and treat that room and inform anyone who stayed there before us. Sorry to be the bearer of this news and otherwise I hope you have a happy holiday. Alison[/COLOR]
[COLOR= black]I e-mailed thanking for the heads-up and that I would check everything. I have replied back that I not only checked but had some photos sent to me showing what I was looking for and since I have a white mattress and white mattress pad, it should have shown up if we had them. I told her I found noting, not even much lint. I asked if they had purchased any new linens as I had been told the critters sometimes come in that way. I am not going to worry about it. I cannot prove a negative via e-mail. The ball is in their court. I certainly am not going to suggest they got them from another inn either. Such is life in the big city.[/COLOR]
Re-reading her e-mail, it is as if she really does believe they got them here referring to anyone who stayed here before they did. As if I have not had any guests since they were here? I guess I will be VERY surprised if they come back in the Spring. I know this, I have wasted as much time and energy as I am going to on this.
