Will clean up my drawers and spray it down, it's a old and wooden table so there's most definitely a lot of hiding spots!

I tried the bunnings bed bug spray and it did kill them, but there's no residue effects. In addition, they seem to all be hiding now, which…

I think a heat gun would melt things. Steamers seem better for the job without damage.
05/12/2021 - 13:41
I thought about heating the room, but it's rather difficult to get an even application of heat throughout the room. Since it's nearly…

I have a bed bug mattress cover on now, so they can't get through that. I do steam it as well just in case.
05/12/2021 - 13:31
The biggest pain is removing all the clutter from my room! Oh there is clutter alright. I'll need to bring in the pros after one final go.…

Hahha tempting :) Not sure how I'd write that one off on insurance though xD
04/12/2021 - 17:00
