Bed Bug Infestations Have Us Concerned
Blanketing Arizona is an informal group of families that get together each year to donate blankets and clothing to the homeless in Phoenix. In a typical year, we are able to take in and redistribute used blankets and even some winter clothing like hats, scarves and mittens. This year, 2010 we are a little worried about doing that. Why? Because of these guys…

Meet Cimex lectularius, aka Mr. Bedbug. While bedbugs are generally harmless to humans, an infestation can cost thousands of dollars to treat. Since Blanketing Arizona has no office, when we get a donation, it’s typically kept in someone’s garage until winter time. That means its our personal homes that could get infested. Yuk!.
So for 2010, we are asking for donations of only new blankets so we don’t run into Mr. Bedbug and add to the problems facing our biggest customers, the homeless of Arizona.
Thank you for your understanding!
