Mike and the Itsy Bitsy Bed Bug Boogie

Mike scratched his head as he walked up to the quaint bungalow in Foley, Alabama. Like clockwork, the homeowner greeted him with a frantic wave and a wide-eyed look. “They’re dancing in the mattress!” she exclaimed. Mike blinked, trying not to laugh. He imagined tiny bed bugs throwing a dance party, complete with tiny disco balls and a conga line.

Scanning the bedroom for any signs of mischief, Mike carefully pulled back the sheets and set about his usual routine. Sure enough, little specks revealed themselves, looking suspiciously like they’d rather dance away than face the bright light. “Ah, the old Itsy Bitsy Bed Bug Boogie,” Mike joked, gently poking at a seam on the mattress. “Every once in a while they gather for a hoedown.” The homeowner nodded in relief—if you couldn’t laugh about bed bugs, they’d surely drive you batty.

Armed with his flashlight and a dose of determination, Mike checked every hidden corner for any more uninvited guests. He admired how bed bugs could instantly turn people into determined home inspectors, combing through mattresses, carpets, and nightstands. “They sure know how to boogie under the furniture,” Mike said, shrugging at the slight scuffling coming from beneath the bed. After a moment, he retrieved an unsuspecting critter, shaking his head. “Sorry, buddy, the dance floor is closed.”

Once the bed bug treatment was in motion, Mike flipped through a mental checklist of other common household pests that Bed Bugs and Beyond (BBB) tackled across Baldwin County, Alabama. He thought about the cockroaches in kitchen cupboards, the mosquitos making patio parties miserable, and the occasional stealthy rodent. “Never a dull day in pest control,” Mike mused as he wrapped up his work. “From fleas to termites, there’s always some kind of infestation trying to cha-cha its way indoors.”

When the treatment concluded, the grateful homeowner thanked Mike profusely. He offered a reassuring grin as he gathered his gear. “I’ll see you around, hopefully on a friendlier note next time. But don’t worry—if you ever hear the Itsy Bitsy Bed Bug Boogie again, you know who to call.”
