Oh, bugger. (Part Two)

Oh, bugger: Part Two

Well the quest to find and eliminate the bed bugs is still ongoing. I am ready to pull hair and teeth out on this one. Even after all the spraying, vacuuming, steaming and scrubbing that has been done, I found an adult bed bug today – IN DAYLIGHT. I really dislike when I see bugs because I become the ultimate hypochondriac, itching away at my body until it’s raw. When J got home from work and I told him that I saw one, he immediately flipped the couches over. The first couch we looked under had nothing but a few pools of dried blood from the bugs. The second couch, however, was a different story. Underneath this couch is where I believe the bed bugs were nesting. I found one egg sac, larvae, baby bugs, medium sized bugs, pools of blood and poop, but no adult sized. When we found the bugs – alive I might add - we busted out the bottles of rubbing alcohol and started frantically spraying. We didn’t have a flashlight handy so we used a lighter. Needless to say, we lit the bottom of the couch on fire for three seconds and started blowing at it like it was our birthday cake. After the couch stopped burning and we stopped laughing we sprayed and doused it with the Diatomaceous Earth. Now all we can do is wait but I believe that this is one race that the bed bug epidemic has lost - - I hope.
