His girlfriend left him over problems in the bedroom, a caller told Barb Ogg, of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Service.
It wasn't him.
It was the bed bugs.
Bed bug infestations have doubled locally since last year, and they're likely to double every year for some time, Ogg said.
"I probably took between 10-15 calls," in one recent week, Ogg said.
About three-fourths of the complaints come from multi-unit dwellings -- apartments, motels, retirement homes, halfway houses.
"This is the scary time of the year because school's starting and people are moving around and coming into apartments," Ogg said.
Tenants will learn later from neighbors their place had been treated for bed bugs, sometimes several times, Ogg said, and yet the problem remains.
The reddish-brown insects -- last seen in great numbers before World War II -- have rebounded nationally, infesting college dorms, hospital wings, homeless shelters and swanky hotels.
DDT, the main pesticide weapon against them, was banned in 1972 as a possible carcinogen and environmental hazard.
