Bedlam

Folks at my work claim they use in on their

space in a phone room.

Is that OK?

What should they be using?


Knowing what they are

More like Tics than jumpers.

Cleaning the Shop Vac today.

One jumped on wrist.

Got him with Alcohol.

Washed it out.

Cleaned Filter off site.

Bagged the sweepings and hosed out the whole thing.

Jumped in shower.

Put work clothes directly in Washer.

You must live on these protocols.

Treat all waste as contaminated.

No bugs in over 10 days and want to keep it that way.

Alcohol will kill the nasty little beasts.

Not what I thought they were.

Not hopping bugs like Fleas.

But crawlers and plodders.

Have pulled them from feeding from my forearms...

it feels like removing a scab.

Alcohol will kill the nasty little beasts.

Have at it.


Have not seen enemy in a week.

Have read on line that the 'all clear' point is at 50 - 60 days.

All clothing still in plastic bags. Straight from the dryer.

Vacuum and steam now as the hope is that chemical methods are now at an end.

Airing the whole place out every day with Fans blasting.

AC only sleeping hours.

Killing Bedbugs With Heat:

Bed Bug Traps

Traps


Use Dry Ice to build trap and detector.

Learn tactics of air movement within your “foxhole” (sleeping quarters)

Hide your CO2 plume from this preyer on mankind.

Test to see if you have them.

Provide “ocular proof” of your infestation to landlords and doubters.

Just getting started...

lots of work and catching up to do for you here. 

Trap instructions will be posted.

If Dry Ice can be found at a reasonable rate a prototype will be built by the research foundation here (at your service am I)

Pictures if possible.

My gosh took me a month to figure out these jokers style.

Brash. Hungry and emotionless hunters.

Clinging to your skin like a scab.

Sucking your blood.

And as a reminder of who is boss and what this true 'coo' means.

You can not brush them off...

Disturb he or she and they amble a centimeter away set down beak or prong or what ever evil of evolution they use to pierce our virgin skins.

You can just hear them say in jeering droves...

like some Hannibal chorus from hell "Yum"

Eradication must be my goal.

Eradication must be you goal.

Eradication must be our government's goal.

Eradication must be all of our goal.

Just for the impact on Asthma sufferers alone...

So many blogs to work on here.




Mattress Encasements

Are they right for you?

At least till you know it is all clear you do not want to expose a new one to the front yet.

What quality?  What cost?

Do you get what you pay for here?

Share your experiences.


Steamers - Take the battle to the enemy.

Steamers

Take the battle to the enemy.

Bug to Hand combat.

I was vacuuming after I was thinking I was reaching an "all clear" monent

and one sucked its sustanance from me from under my arm as I tried to suck up as many bretheren both dead and alive and the carcases of previous days - now weeks of battle.

Surely the industrial strength stuff the guys in the building at work gave me the instructions for using would do the trick?

Was the 15 hours I spent steaming the bedroom carpet with a hand steamer from the big box store worth the pain?

And yet after all of that - with now just the bed and one dresser in the room.  Far from all walls.
No backboards for me for who knows how long.

Just another example of how life changing this is all going to be my brothers and sisters in arms.

Gather by this electronic glow and share your tales of woe and of strategies of victories and contributions to my new quest to rid this world of all Bed Bugs. May they go the way of the Dodo for all I care.
