Have you stroked Ramona?

yes

though she's been a PITA today

right now she's being good

I think I am avoiding a task

so - I think I mentioned my bed bug paranoia last month? Mystery bites?

wince Oh, no....

Oh dear

STILL never found a single bug, or casing, or streak, but was getting bites

well, I decided, fuck it, go ham

sprayed the bedroom and living room with a residual

good news? No more bites.

It has been about a month, spray keeps killing for thirty days. One treatment is often considered good for mild infestations, etc

I do have a bittle for a second round, as we are at 30 days

*bottle

But this means cat in the basement, hauling around a lot of furniture, and skippering off for a few hours

Now, it is possible mystery bug wasn't a bed bug, as, again, I couldn't FIND any

sigh I hate to say it...but you might want to go ahead and do it. Just to be safe. Although, not finding any bug casings or bugs themselves is odd. They usually hang out at the seams of the mattress...?

Yeah, closely inspected mattress and box springs

got the little interceptors

got the surveillance traps

I also put a flea treatment on Ramona, just in case

never found a flea, either

Huh

Could it be they were a rash? Not actual bites?

Because bedbugs aren't that forgiving, once they're present enough to start biting you.

maybe

It was one or two bites a day, over a few weeks. Never got mad clusters or lines. But SOMETHING was up.

I also have an option for a broader-based residual insecticide. Could spray that one.

I can see why it would annoy the tick out of you

no pun intended

Yeah, it was stressful

Well, if the spray helped, it helped. One more round would probably be the last you need to think of it for a long time. Probably worth the time/effort/annoyance.

true

'there's a cure for that lack of experience' maybe the most satyr guy thing I've posted in over a year

I LOVE that line!

I must remember it

hee

Ramona is BIG MAD in the basement

OOoo

she has COMPLAINTS

She would like to speak to the manager?

She is going to write a Strongly Worded Letter!

if only she had thumbs!

ALmost done with the spray, though

I'm glad you found the oomph to get that done.

It isn't too bad

STILL no bug traces

however

can't HURT
