You really hurting since horse_ebooks died, huh?
 
So I have bed bugs

fuck
I'll post this from another thread with a poster that found he had the same issue.

Do not start to get rid of your possessions this is the one mistake you can make, you don't have to start your life over because you have bed bugs. Depending on the infestation depends on how hard you will have to fight. Still be aware and don't let the bed bug PTSD get to you because it is real.

Start bagging all of your items and labeling them. Eliminate All clutter. All clothes and sheets needs to be washed and dried in high temperature water. 118 F (48 C+) gold and put them in New bags. Be prepared to live out of bags until your problem is solved.

Get an actual bed bug mattress protector like this and cover your bed immediately. Also get this for any pillows. Most extermination services provide this at additional cost, if you order from a place like amazon always make sure there are pictures so you can get a good look, I wouldn't count so much on words themselves.

I suggest white sheets, you need to start monitoring if you have blood streaks or fecal matter from the bugs.

Food grade diatomaceous earth is to be used in crevices and not abundantly (Understand this will not solve your problem but slow them down.)

I'm not detracting from using GAF as a source for help, but you're best off speaking to people in the same situation as yourself. There are also professionals/entomologist on that board that will be able to help answer any questions you have.

There is a fucking fascinating Star Wars film that explores the nature of the Force and how light vs. dark don't exactly correspond to good vs evil and it's just waiting to be made.

Plot twist: this is basically the core concept of Kingdom Hearts.

Eh. Not really. But thank you for asking.

You. ?

Considering school has overtaken my dreams, restless. Been revising mostly. After having a disturbing dream about summations and sequences, I decided to just play video games today. Beat out Linea, The Game, Tengami, Rusty Lake Hotel, and played a fair bit of Skull Girls.

Hope everyone's doing okay after today, and into the weekend.

Thanks ya'll for the hot bed bug tips.

We already are looking into an exterminator and have one lined up to come in a week. It seems localized to my room (which is in the basement) so I've vacated upstairs. I started washing my clothes my clothes and all that.

I've been getting random welts and bites for months but could not find a sign of them at all. Had an exterminator come look and set up traps. Got super lucky last night in that I felt one on me while I was sleeping and managed to react quick enough to catch it and confirm it was actually bed bugs. I'm hoping by next weekend I can finally put this shit behind me.

Let's just hope that stays the focus for the hate instead of what I expect the white nerds to get angry about

You'll be good, BB can be a pain in the ass but easy to get rid of if caught early. Whatever you do don't bomb and make sure your exterminator doesn't suggest bombing. That site I linked those professionals will tell you why.

But in short like with anything else you spread them deeper into your home and possibly your neighbors home. And that's especially bad for BB considering their multiply rate. Keep a spray bottle of 91-99% isopropyl alcohol, it can be a lower percentage but won't be as effective. You can use it to shut down and kill any stragglers you see.

If you sleep in a different room they will follow you, they're attracted to the Carbon dioxide we expel while sleeping. Killing them is all about the isolation and defense game. You'll be alright though fam.
