Hi again, I was the one who tracked young bbs into my private, 1 family house from a 10-day gig as a call center phone operator. The PCO had swiftly arrived after only 4~5 nights of getting bit, and found 6 nymphs and 1 instar hiding out on the underside of the couch where I sleep, nothing anywhere else. First treatment was given throughout the whole house on 11/20, had some bites appear the next day, but realized they were probably old. Second treatment was meant to be 11/27, but the PCO ended up taking Black Friday off at the last minute and treated 11/29. Final treatment was 12/4.
All's been quiet since the first treatment, really! I sleep soundly again, not a bite or a bug in sight. I am going to try to keep my things bagged until 30~40 days have passed, even though the PCO said it was such a small job, everyone could start placing their clothes back in drawers and closets now if they liked. He was confident that they've been eradicated, but of course said to let him know if bites start up again or we see anything concerning. I hope this can give hope to others! I stayed positive, made sure all the preparations were done properly, and it seems to have paid off. Just thought about this forum and figured I'd give this update after I found a bite on me today and it was just a mosquito, lol. What a relief!
