The Canadian surot (bed bugs).

We've seen the ipis (cockroaches) of New York, and they're big and black, when we lived on 132nd St W some years ago.  We didn't have surot (bedbugs) in an apartment we shared with Pinoy old-timers there.

We've gone to Toronto twice. Am sure we'd kill our Pinoy hosts with sharp dagger looks if ever we saw one surot crawling on the bed or that shared a pillow with us.

It would be interesting if Toronto Pinoys can tell us how surot in their adopted country look and 'behave' compared to the kind that thrives in mattresses/pillows and under arm supports and seats of sinehan chairs in our dear 'Pinas.
