I HATE the new Digg.

Thank you.

Also, I think I might hop over to reddit.

This article hits very close to home as we dealt with bed bugs last year right before a big move into our new home. It was one of the most stressful and expensive things to EVER go through, especially if you tend to hord stuff. I am not a horrible horder, but it is in my genes and I can’t help doing it a little bit. I hadn’t heard about the containers and baby oil bit, I think I might try doing that on all the beds in my house. We have been bed bug free for almost a year, but no point in not taking precautions.

I tried to do as much of the heating and bagging stuff as she talks about in the article, but I didn’t have just a roommate I was dealing with. A husband, a two year old, a newborn, a sis in law and a dogger equals a lot of crap. And while three of those people could do a lot of work, there were two kids and a dog who were not really capable of helping in any way… So I did as much as I could, but with the amount of stuff I have it just wasn’t possible to do ALL of it. Mario probably would not have come to my house to treat with the job I did. What was really horrifying to me is that when our exterminators did come they told me I had done a great job and a lot more than most people do! Let me repeat that, A LOT MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE DO. Shudder.
