lil bro was crawling towards me on my bed while I was talking to my therapist. I excused myself and almost caught it in a plastic bag before losing it, then severely crashed out about that for 15 minutes with my therapist, then spotted it again and nabbed it. Weirdly pleased because at least I know for sure now.

Good news is it’s the landlord’s responsibility to take care of, bad news is I’m the one who gets screwed if they do a bad job. I’ve been doing a healthy amount of research so I know the protocol but if anyone has any hot tips I won’t turn my nose up at them

    Diatomaceous earth puffer, hit edge of the room and on every part of the bed that touches the floor, likely in the mattress folds too. They like paper too, books tissues etc. The earth dries the liquid they breathe with on contact, only thing that really works, steam and chemcals do nothing. They hatch in waves so hit the room with fresh powder around the time they are set to hatch again after the initial. 3 weeks out then 4 months. Good luck, they will drive you insane if not delt with properly and can easily come in from other infested apartments. So definately don’t wait for whatever half assery the landlord comes up with if they are in the whole building you need an earth circle of protection refreshed every few weeks forever until the landlord does the earth treatment to the whole building for 4 months just to be sure.
