The story
We bought our first home, exciting and a time to look forward to.
Feb 28th We give our notice to vacate our apartment ( in 6 years no issues with bed bugs)
March 2nd I found a bug on the bathroom wall, took a picture, I went to,our rent office they sent it to their Pest control company. Confirmed Bed Bug. They, to their credit booked our first treatment right away. I run as much things through our apartment driers as possible ( boyfriend wins argument about how much money to put on laundry card). Now I like to be ready ahead of time so before the bedbug sighting all non essentials were packed for our move.
March 4 get rid of bed and sofa not a big loss... But not great either
March 5 spray one. Pest control sees no activity, boyfriend sees one bug
March 18 another sighting
Next spray March 21
We don't want them in our house. We can't sleep, I can hardly eat and it's just been 2.5 weeks.
Our plan
1 repack all cardboard into rubbermade plastic containers (me have a good stress cry)
2 take all apartment contents to a place near by which does thermo heat treatment, treat everything
3 unpack into the houses garage. Move big items into house ( table, tv stand,tv). Rewash and dry clothes and such
4 contact K9 guys and see what they say before buying new stuff for the house
Does anyone have suggestions?
We don't know how long we have had them. Did the first one come from the pipes? Or had they been there a long time? I have dry itchy skin all the time so I may of been bitten and not noticed. After seeing the bug a areas on my bobby could of been bites. Now I keep watching every inch of my body. I have found some red pin prick dots mostly on my upper legs. They are small and only one is raised. I don't know if I am over thinking or it's the real deal ( I have been out of town through most of this)
