TWIMC,
We have a Bed Bug problem and I noticed that BB do not like fleece
[100 % polyester]. I stumbled upon this when sleeping under a fleece blanket in an air conditioned bedroom. The BB left me alone when i did this. so i decided to take it one step further. I covered a favorite recliner chair, which is infested with BB, with a large fleece blanket and lo and behold they did not come out after this. It is now going on a week and no sign of them. I then covered our bed with fleece blankets during the day [during the same week] and again no sign of them. I did notice a dead one the other day which managed to get under the fleece blanket. It seems that some vapor emanating from the fleece killed this BB.
Could it be that some molecule emanating from the fleece is lethal to BB?
Respectfully yours,
Jack Gordon
