Augh! Bedbugs!

(Anonymous) 2019-07-15 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Anybody here have any learned-from-experience tips on how to deal with bedbugs? My father bought one of those tv trays with a pillow on the bottom side - used - and now we have bedbugs. :(

So far we've thoroughly gone through our rooms and the living room, thrown out our ancient ripped up POS couch, run most of our fabric items through the dryer, sprayed bedbug spray in the most suspect places, and dusted diatomaceous earth pretty much everywhere. Plus we've set up a couple of traps (fruitless so far).

The thing I'm really struggling with is figuring out what to do with items I can't throw in the dryer, like underwire bras, delicate underwear, beloved workout gear that I don't want getting baggy, books, etc. Obviously I've visually< i>checked these items for bugs, but would I be able to tell if there were a couple of eggs on an item? IDK.

I'm just very overwhelmed and would love any tips.

Plastic bags. Put those things in plastic bags with some diatomaceous earth and seal them airtight. Leave for one week and then hand wash. For things that cannot be washed at all, put them in separate plastic bags without diatomaceous earth and leave sealed for a month. It's best if you can store all the sealed bags somewhere very hot, like an attic.
