I had been contemplating installing a nylon camping hammock with hooks in the roof beams. This may be hard if you are renting I realize, but if you added a ring of double-sided sticky tape to the roof... you would be bedbug free I reckon.

But then, as much as my bed was a HUGE pain in the butt (without a box spring, to boot!) when I considered all the cracks and such, don't most (nice) metal bed frames have hollow tubes? I'm just saying, yikes. I'm thinking best bet is a metal bed that's not hollow (or truly sealed) or a sealed up wooden bed. With those passive bed bug monitors on the four posters. And REALLLLY high up so covers don't even dream of touching the ground. And the very fact that we all have to consider these things instead of "what goes with my dressers?" is another one for the list. *L*</p> <p>As is "one begins to have a drastic appreciation for the little things.

Unfortunately it's only true until you begin to be petrified that you've infected your workplace. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/top-10-ways-to-know-youre-battling-bbs#post-28238 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:14:38 +0000 Itchybutdealing 28238@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>You inspect your bed like a hawk every morning, and note any "spot" changes. </p> <p>You try several new places for sex, anywhere but your bed (the shower, the kitchen, the floor....etc.) anywhere that doesn't gross you out! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/top-10-ways-to-know-youre-battling-bbs#post-28235 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:44:58 +0000 spideyjg 28235@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>You can't quite dig all the caulk out from under your fingernail. </p> <p>Jim </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/top-10-ways-to-know-youre-battling-bbs#post-27833 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:53:40 +0000 buggyinsocal 27833@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I know I listed some in a post somewhere, but, alas, I didn't tag it. Here are some I came up with up off the top of my head,</p> <p>*You actually have a preference between Ziplock and Hefty sealed top bags, and you're not afraid to share that opinion with others.<br /> *Whatever insect infestations you've dealt with in the past, you'd take them back in a heartbeat as compared with bed bugs.</p> <p>I don't know how to make this funny, but I will tell you this--I seriously look for bed bug friendliness of furniture/room set ups the same way that when I go back east now, I look at architecture and room layout with an eye to earthquakes. That is, when I go back east now, I find myself going "Oh, all those brick buildings are totally not quake safe." or "Well, that 25th floor suspended walkway will be the first thing down in the Big One" even though I know that earthquakes are not a threat on the east coast the way they are here.</p> <p>I'll try to think of the rest as they come.</p> <p>Oh, and :</p> <p>*You may be as green as they come:driving a Prius, becoming a locavore, and taking reusable bags with you wherever you go, but you find yourself looking nostalgically back on the days of DDT and/or lobbying for new and stronger pesticides. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/top-10-ways-to-know-youre-battling-bbs#post-27831 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:33:30 +0000 Adele 27831@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>this is great!!!</p> <p>i loved it - very clever and thank you for posting it </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/top-10-ways-to-know-youre-battling-bbs#post-27827 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 09:51:35 +0000 Beatrice 27827@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>-You have no hesitation about asking "is that pimple or bug bite?" </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/top-10-ways-to-know-youre-battling-bbs#post-27805 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:42:52 +0000 Itchy-Scratchy 27805@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>buggyinsocial suggested that we draft a "Top Ten" list for BBs. Here's a list I've come up with ... if anyone has anything to add, please feel free!!</p> <p>Buggyinsocial, this is for you:</p> <p>TOP TEN WAYS TO KNOW YOU'RE BATTLING BEDBUGS:</p> <p>1. You can debate the pros and cons of every brand of garbage bag.<br /> 2. Your vacuum is your best friend.<br /> 3. You can name at least 4 pesticides, yet you can't name 4 new movies that will open next month.<br /> 4. Your idea of a spa treatment involves showering and calamine lotion.<br /> 5. Ghost stories don't scare you but bug-feces do.<br /> 6. You think that you will encounter less bugs camping than you will at a five-star hotel.<br /> 7. You're on a diet not because you are fat, but because all of your clothes shrunk in the dryer.<br /> 8. Debugging is no longer a computer term.<br /> 9. The Vaseline next to your bed is not for moisturizing purposes.<br /> 10. Going TO your job is your de-stressor. </p>
