Dear Editor:

Happy New Year. I always look forward to getting The Rimbey Review.

I see in the last paper a lady is having bedbug trouble.

When I grew up that was quite common.

I don’t know how this would be for this lady. When we had bedbugs we’d do this, but we did it in the summer when we moved into our camper for two days, while the bugs were being fumigated.

Of course she could move out for a few days.

We would take an old roasting pan and put sulphur in it and light it. Close all the doors and windows.

Two days later we would open the house door and take the sulphur out and be bedbug free. We only needed to do it once.

Hope this works as good now as it did years ago.

I understand sulphur can be bought in drug stores.

Eda Satre,

Winfield
