Got Bed Bugs? Bedbugger Forums » Tales of Bed Bug Woe
frustrated with I'm not being paranoid enough while moving
(2 posts)-
It's 3:07 AM and I am waiting for my packtite to reach 120 so I can unzip it and take the items out when it's done. The truth is this is taking a toll on my time and I am so frustrated with the pace I am moving to my new place.
My apartment had its heaviest infestation in May and the tenants complaints have trickled down a little, although it has not stopped completely. Just in my apt. I had about 6 visits since April this year.I persoanlly was last bitten on 8/5 and the exterminator came on 8/7. I am not sure if it was a bedbug or mosquito but I got another single bite on my ear on 8/24. I want to say it is getting better, but not done yet.there are no guarantees.
Now I need someone to help me be logical about this and not think from a panick -ridden point of view. I think I am not being vigilant enough when I should be about moving. On one side of my head I think I don't have any more bedbugs so I am very relaxed about closing my plastic bags and sleeping near the floor. on the other side I am so happy to have my packtite iwant to run everything I couldn't put in the dryer in it. These two world clash and I seem to have an illogical way of sterilizingmy stuff b4 moving. (Obviously I am so exhausted i need yo beg your pardon about my typos.) I packtite books and leave them open in boxes on the floor. What am I doing? But I don't know what else to do.
I guesss my question is in my state of light or practically non-existent BB situation do i still need to worry that a bedbug can come alive after the two week period and be born into the new place I am moving to? Am I making sense? that was a pretty long question.
I need guidance from a guru and also a menat check from someone who can think logically.
I am crushed for time also because I am moving Monday, but i still have so much to packtite I am extremely overwhelmed.I am so distraught..... I may need to clean up this post tomorrow morning. ARRRRRRGHHAHHHH! That was a yawn. -

Monday's pretty close, and it sounds like you might be making mistakes due to sleep deprivation and the time pressure. Can you buy yourself some more time? Maybe move your stuff into a storage unit instead of your new place?
I'd at least suggest picking up some 55 gallon drum liners from your local hardware store to keep your sterilized boxes in. When it's time to carry the box out on moving day, remove the contents from the bag and toss the bag in the recycle bin.
