    Hi,

    I have been digging through old threads looking for the answers to some remaining questions that I have.

    How big are fecal stains? I can't tell from the photos people post because I don't know how zoomed in they are. Are fecal stains bigger than the bugs themselves or smaller? I have been finding lots of black spots in purses, shoes, and clothes that look like flecks of mascara but are hard to remove. I've tried the water/peroxide tests to no avail and I have no idea if what I am finding is bed bug feces or not. This is such a struggle, even with all of the great information on this site.

    Other than buying a Packtite, what are my options for books, trinkets, jewelry, etc? I am having a PCO come on Wednesday to do a treatment, and I don't have the money to buy a Packtite and I don't want to bag everything up for 18 months. What are the alternatives? Is careful inspection enough? I've heard rubbing alcohol works. Is that true?

    Thank you for all of your help and support, this site gets me through the day (and night!!).
