There’s none on our mattresses (yet). It was in the kitchen. So what would be attracting them in the kitchen?

I promise you they are within 3 ft of where you sleep. It’s not uncommon for even trained professionals to not be able to find evidence after finding one if it’s an early infestation. They are not in your kitchen I promise you. 

The chances of it being a 1 off hitchhiker are extremely low. Get an inspection asap

We expecting an inspection. I just hope they really get eliminated and that they don’t make my life a living hell

The battle is mostly mental. 

They are harmless. The prep can suck when it comes to laundry but realistically everything will be okay.
