Bedbugs. They're super creatures, really.

They are hard to sport, hard to get rid of, have developed resistance to most insecticides. Even when you get rid of them, if you don't live in a detached house, they will infest your neighbour's house and come back to yours when the insecticides you sprayed levels go down and stop being effective.

They can live for 18 months without feeding on you, so even if you move out temporarily, they will not leave your house due to the lack of food.

You also worry about inviting friends over, because you don't want a pregnant female bedbug finding its way to their homes causing them sleepless nightmares.
