I bought new linen, pillows, etc. this weekend, and now I fear that it is all contaminated. I told my owner this morning, and he said he'd spray cockroach repellant. What will this do? Will it be effective?

Good lord, the drama never ends.

Speaking from personal experience, you need to do the following. Don't bother with insecticides/pesticides because they are not effective with bed bugs.

Take the mattress off the bed and keep it the whole day in direct sunshine on the terrace. Bring the bed and keep it under the sunlight on the terrace. Boil some water and put the water in a bottle and slowly pour the water in every joint and crevice in the frame of the bed. You will find dead bed bugs falling out as you pour the water. Keep pouring the water until the bugs stoip falling out.

The other alternative is to throw the bed and mattress out and buy new ones.

I don't know how I could possibly get my bed up onto the terrace. The mattress isn't a problem.

I've also found two dead bedbugs in the bathroom, which is relatively far from my bed

I hope I don't have a fullscale infestation.

I will demand that the owner get professional treatment, as this is completely unacceptable to me. I specifically asked about bugs and bug related problems. He assured me that everything was fine and that there will be no issues. Now I find bedbugs, the scourge of humanity and the most difficult household pest to remove!!

AHHHHH!!

I can't even work today, I'm so mad!
