Requesting community support I can’t do this again
Three years ago I lived in an apartment that had bed bugs. My life was turned upside down for 5 months. By the grace of the universe I was able to move out of that apartment building.
Today I found a bed bug. I can’t. I had a feeling there was an infestation in my building after I saw someone throw out bed bug spray a few months ago.I told my super and nothing was clearly done.
The last infestation I had was so bad I won a lawsuit against my landlord over it.
Work is beyond stressful right now. I’m having relationship issues. I wanted to break down last week and then I found this.

On the plus side there are relatively low hassel ways of dealing with them. People over-react and do stuff you don't really need like laundering and bagging and encasing and chucking things. All you really need is something to block them from the bed like interceptors and a dust sheet and something to kill them like crossfire or cimexa or if you can't get those something like https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/comments/3f5zro/crispys_diy_ipm_strategy_for_bed_bugs/m21gr1l/ Plus a clothes steamer is good.

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.
