No need to use chemicals. Get a mattress bag (made special for bed bugs) and buy a hand steamer. Learn where they like to hide, and blast em with steam.
- xtiansimon 3y agoOh. I just remembered. A friend of mine lives in an SRO. The owner of the property manages these pests with a room heater. They bake the room for something like 12 hours and supposedly this mitigates the problem. As I mentioned here before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35699400 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35699400), I prefer my "killing field" method, "The bugs infest your bed, reproduce, and spread out. To get rid of them you do the reverse—kill them on the bed with steam. Wait a day or two for the commuters to repopulate the bedding, repeat."
