I have a father-in-law with bed bugs and his wife we need help.

akababy7 Jul 2023
I have dealt with this in the past with my momma living in assisted living for over nine months. My brother was bringing bed bugs into her assisted living. I had to have it cleaned up and then they come and spray. Did this at least four times. Lost count. Then with my medical power of attorney I had to ban all family members to visit momma in her apartment. Brother was still coming into momma's apartment after he was banned by sneaking through the front desk. Assisted living had him on camera and didn't do anything about it. I did not clean it up that time. Let brother and assisted living handle it. I refused to pay for the spray treatment. Assisted living could either get it out of brother or just choke it down. They could still come see her but not in her apartment. The money we spent with all of this was unbelieveable. You need to call a professional exterminator. That is the only way to get rid of them. My sister had them too and we had to get that cleaned up.

they havent forced the evacuation of indianapolis yet , or cinncinnatti , or cleveland , england ,
germany , australia or israel .
i still would be apprehensive about getting authorities involved tho , most are rich kids too detached from common folk to even understand the world . diotomecious earth fk ' s bedbugs up but you have to use it properly then leave it alone . if your gonna get ocd and vaccum it back up every day your wasting your time . the human hosts are the targets . isolate every bed and chair where a human spends time with the DE . then its a waiting game -- youre the bait . the bugs are going to walk thru the DE to bite you but in doing so theyre gonna die . pestmall online sells great zip up mattress and box spring cover pretty reasonably . before you zip up the mattress toss DE inside the covers . a spray bottle full of wintergreen alcohol kills bugs and eggs on contact for the occasions when you see one . you can wipe them out but it takes a couple of months . DE is just pulverized sea corral . it isnt poisonous and wont hurt humans . if you see bugs or exoskeletons inside of fluffy chairs or couches , burn the furniture . sitting it to the curb is just the wrong thing to do . dont burn expensive beds , theyre easy to protect and treat . DE is dirt cheap on ebay .
bed bugs dont travel far . they only live within about an 8 ft radius of where humans sit and sleep . they aint hangin out in the kitchen is what im sayin .

We need more to go on. Does your father and his wife have any mental problems or decline? Can they not look after themselves? Are they disabled?
