➔ Do It Yourself (DIY)
The apt is in the basement of a house. 2 tenants live above me, then the landlord's pigsty above that. Landlord threatened me to get rid of them or he'll meet at the Tribunal. I am a very clean person, as are ALL of my friends. Don't know where the bedbugs came from.
I thought to start, I would wash all clothes/linen possibly infected, then vacuun carpets, couches and beds, then spray with "bedbug" spray, Raid House & Garden Bug Killer. It lists bed bugs as one of the varmints it kills on contact. Due to an injured right hand, I need help to lift the mattress and move couches, etc
I'm on disability so I tried a few agencies. One arrived and said "This place is cleaner than we EVER do," and walked out. I offered some strong guys in the area and ensured them that I would roll their pant legs and spray their ankles & any exposed skin with bug spray containing 25% DEET. No takers. Good help (any help) is hard to find!
