Hey everyone,
I posted a few days ago about finding out that my neighbor has BB's while I was in the process of moving out of my apartment... >:-( An inspector from Lloyd's checked my apartment and told me that I was clear and should not be concerned about bringing them with me. However, after reading up on BB's, I decided that it was better to be safe than sorry.
I am only taking a few boxes of things with me to my new place, all of which are going to receive a thermal treatment by Lloyd's. All of these items will then be encased and put in large plastic bags for transport. The remaining items are in storage (I rented a storage unit and moved stuff into the unit two days before I found out about the problem)... :-( I am not bringing my furniture with me and was going to try to sell it until I knew about this problem. What do you recommend I do with my furniture at this point? Should I sell it with full disclosure of the potential problem? Should I dispose of it? Can I steam the furniture and have it inspected? Ugh, this is an absolute nightmare...I dread finding one and truly sympathize with those who have them. :-( -

Well there are tenants who are interested in my furniture...Lloyd's has advised me to keep the furniture in my unit so that it can be carefully inspected during the treatment. In a few weeks, we will be taking it apart (IKEA stuff), reinspecting, steaming, and if all is well, I can sell my furniture to those interested with full disclosure of what it's been through.... obviously, it will be at a heavy discount! ;-)
Just wanted to post this in case anyone has a similar dilemma. If the BB's ever make their way into this unit, I'll be trashing the furniture. :-(
