On a positive note, I did get a ride from a dear friend yesterday afternoon, and have given the area rug to our nearest Value Village outlet, and donated the two bags of clothing to the Canadian Diabetes Association! While there is still a bit of stuff to dispose of, it is at a much more manageable level, now!UPDATE: With 6 days to go before our scheduled 3rd and final bed bug treatment, the last bed bug sighting on my bed was 2 weeks ago today, which was the day after our 2nd treatment!
When I spoke with a pest control person yesterday about setting up our final treatment, he confirmed the numbers were way down from before the first treatment. Barring any further sightings, we should be able to resume "normal" living 3 weeks following the last treatment, which will be September 8.
Our summer has been a bit of a write off, what with the Mrs also STILL waiting for a medical diagnosis, and final touch up reno work for our apartment being on pause with our bed bug issue!
This week, I've been paring down on the contents of our PLASTIC totes that have been in our storage locker since months before our infestation; thus I don't have to wait until our September 8 all clear to get rid of them! Only 2 of the 5 totes still contain items, one of them being some Christmas decorations. It also has our son's area rug, and two bags of clothes I plan to take down to a Value Village and Canadian Diabetes donation bin soon as I can get a ride! Space is at a premium and at some point, new flooring still needs to be installed in our building, including the storage rooms, during which any remaining contents in our storage locker will have to be temporarily moved to our apartment; hopefully not BEFORE September 8!
CHEERS!
Tomorrow morning, I plan to contact the pest control company that has been doing our treatments to discuss solutions regarding the stubborn bed bug issue in our living room. While I assume the likelihood of them surviving in the huge sectional, I want to hear some constructive input from a professional and go from there!Sadly, our son is STILL getting bit! I thought that had stopped, UGH!!
I left a message with pest control to let them know!
Just to further clarify, our son says he is still getting bitten at night, BUT he hasn't seen any bed bugs, which may or may not be relevant.
CHEERS!
