The New York Public Library spent six figures on bedbug remediation in 2010. Not because they had a bigger problem than anyone else—because they have more books, more hiding spots, and bedbugs just don't seem to care about all of our classic books. Scale changes everything.

Mosquitoes don't bite everyone equally. They're tracking your exhaled carbon dioxide, body heat, and lactic acid on your skin—which means some people are just broadcasting louder. If you're the one getting swarmed while everyone else walks free, your metabolism isn't the problem. You're just easier to find.

The rice fields flood up in April, and the mosquitoes follow three weeks later like clockwork. We see the calls spike every year around mid-May—standing water plus valley heat equals millions of larvae in two weeks.
