    I haven't been able to get a number off of the LL yet so I can't call and ask, but what should I do with electronics when the PCO gets here? Do I unplug and move my computer/monitor/television to another part of the apartment//cover with garbage bags so they don't get sprayed or what? :| The little prep sheet we got says nothing and I do not trust my ll's advice if I asked him.

    I would guess you don't have to do anything with these items. The PCO is not going to be spraying your place down like that. Or ....... I should say I hope not.

    I suppose if he/she does say to move them, they can wait while I do so :3

    They will probably leave your gear alone with the idea that if there are any bugs in them they will come out to feed and cross a treated area. There was a PCO video where the guy was doing a hotel room. There, the requirement was "100% eradication on first treatment", after all, you don't want to use a paying customer as bait, LOL. He recommended that electronics that livenear the bed should be heat treated or disposed. David Cain (bedbugcouk on this board) says he's never found BB in a computer.

    Yeah the only issue I'm seeing is in my keyboard, which will be replaced following treatment :3 I'm thinking of wrapping my current one, somehow.
