Bed bugs fucking suck. Lived in rental housing that had them, made a couple of attempts and getting rid of them (Rentokil guys, spraying everything with insecticide, had to move all the furniture away from the walls so they could get to the skirting board, massive ballache) but they came back both times. I suspect that the adjoining house had them, and there was a big crack in the wall between the houses in one of the bedrooms so I think they were migrating through there. Traumatic shit, altho I never got bitten and I never saw one in my room until the day I moved out. Had to quarantine all my shit after moving so as to not take them with me.
Didn’t see the fuckers again until I moved into my first house. Was supposed to be sold with vacant possession and empty of any items, but the cunt developer who sold it to us had been letting one of his workers sleep there, so we moved in to an unwanted double bed. Which, when sat on, was discovered to be crawling with bedbugs. We dumped the bed in the skip, tore up all the carpets in the house (this had been the plan, but the bed bug discover really expedited it) and then had Rentokil around to bomb the place with insecticide. We were lucky we still had our rental place to stay in whilst this bullshit went on. Scorched earth seemed to do the trick and we never saw the buggers again but I was super uneasy for the first few months we lived there.
Hate bedbugs.
