Beware of Bedbugs in "Free" Furniture

We are rapidly approaching moving season in downtown Madison. Students leaving their apartments will be dragging all their unwanted furniture on to the street, turning many streets into outdoor marketplaces for free stuff. This phenomenon has, for many years, been called hippy Christmas. The furniture, ranging from the good to the bad to the ugly is free for the taking. The bad news is that some of these freebies may come pre-infested with bedbugs.
