I know bugs, of course, have snapped up the odd one from time to time, not sure why. “Ever since they banned DDT,” Bernie goes on. “But guess what – dogs can be trained to sniff out exactly where they are, and their eggs, too.” He holds up the paper. “Here’s a picture of Roscoe, the bed-bug-sniffing beagle.”
