    I am confused about one thing. I've read that if you're going to seal things up and wait for the bugs to die, you have to wait 18 months because they can go dormant. I also read topics about when you can bring your clothes back out, etc., and people were saying things like 1 month, 2 months, 55 days after you've stopped seeing any signs and getting bitten. Why are these different? Couldn't they go dormant in my walls during treatment and come out a year later? Or do they only go dormant if they don't have a food source? I know I must be missing something...

    (P.S. I'm afraid this one might be double posted because I just noticed the "Pick a section" thing under the tag box... I'm sorry, I guess I've been posting everything in "About the forums"!)
