Two weeks ago we recieved the final treatment from our PCO. These men told us we were BB free, which I did not really believe. We were in the process of moving so I had our things heated up in a moving van. The van reached temps of 160 degrees and held that temp for four hours. They made sure that even the insides of the books reached that temp and held for two more hours. We moved into the new apartment four days ago. I have been cleaning and inspecting like crazy and I don't see any signs of the little buggers. Am I really out of the woods? Everything, including my boyfriend, my cat and myself were sanatized before entering this apartment. Am I really safe? How do I know? I am seeing a couple little red bumps on myself but they hurt, not itch. They are not close together, and they really don't look like the bites I had been getting. Does anyone have any advice?

You had your things heated up in a moving van? I've never heard of that. Who do you call for something like that? I've been wondering if I should have my bed heated up to kill the bugs, but have no idea where to get that done. Any suggestions? How much did it cost you?
I'm not sure what advice to give except to get up at night and check the bed when they would usually be out. I usually check mine 3x a night, and if I find any, it's often only one of those times, not all 3. I usually sleep about 1.5 hours, then set my alarm and check, then sleep another 1.5 and 1.5 hours. It means I often sleep in much longer than usual, but knowing I've caught some of them is worth it to me. I really hope your move goes smoothly, and bed bug free!
