Hi all,
I will not go into my story in detail, but wanted to offer my advice to people here, now that I have some distance. We got a bedbug infestation two years ago, and decided to coordinate with our building to treat. Our small building including older tenants with little financial means to treat, and even if we got our landlord to pay, they didn't get rid of items that were deeply infested. A year after the first extensive treatment, we were reinfested. We got the landlord to pay for a whole set of treatments again, and further bought a steamer which we deducted from the rent. A few weeks after the last treatment session we moved out.
Looking back at this, I see that this was tremendously difficult. Two years of my life is gone in a black hole.
It seems like we moved without bringing them with us. We steam all of our items on a regular basis, and have our clothes protected and organized. I am terrified to get them again, of course, but I have gotten my life back. Having this problem is a major risk to your mental health. I feel a lot better now. If we get it again, I will try to assess how well the neighbors can treat. If I suspect they can't do it, I will move again - after completed treatment.
I am a stubborn person that thought I could beat this if I did everything right. But it was impossible. So my advice is, do not underestimate this pest. Make an assessment. It is expensive to move, but it is worth it.
Thank you for a good site and all your support.
