I got bed bugs in my statue boxes. Mother ****er!!! Wtf?

[comicbookguy]

I remember reading a few years back about a pheromone that will cause male bedbugs to stab other bedbugs to death with their pen*ses. Scientists thought it could be used in insecticides. I tried googling and all I couldn't find the full original article.

Huh? I hope we have a way to kill these things in the future. Now im worried that if I buy a statue I might get bed bugs. I dont need vampires crawling all over me. Wait someone told me bed bugs are only in rooms? Bedrooms only? Is this true?

Is this the 1st useful thread that Chunky has made?

Anyway, look at this from NYC.gov:



"Tenants' Rights

Right to a bed bug free environment: For tenants in New York, the right to a bedbug-free environment is included in New York City's Housing and Maintenance Code, Subchapter 2, Article 4, which specifically names bedbugs in the list of insects the landlord is legally obligated to eradicate.

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) lists bedbugs as a Class B violation, which means that they are considered hazardous and that the landlord has 30 days to correct the problem. The landlord must eradicate the infestation and keep the affected units from getting reinfested. Learn more by reading the Metropolitan Council on Housing Fact Sheet on Bed Bugs."

Is 'bed buy' actually an official term. I thought it was slang.
Its funny seeing it on a government website.

Furthermore you have the right to a boogie man free apartment and there shall be no monsters in your closet.

Bed bugs are pretty detestable. Sounds like you have issues bro. I don't envy you at this time.

I'm glad we don't really get things like that over here

I kind of feel bad for some of those landlords. I'm sure in many instances, it is the tenants that unknowingly brought in the bedbugs that got the place infected. Now they have to spend thousands to clean it up. Sucks for everyone involved.

If it were me, I'd probably get rid of those boxes. Not worth the chance of getting more areas infected. If you are going to move them - I'd seal them up tight first. Wouldn't want to get those damn bugs in your car - because then you could just be transporting them to new locations.

That powder does not work good. It floods the entire house with white powder that is not easy to clean if you can clean it at all.

Not in my experience. The powder stays where you put it unless your place is really drafty maybe? I don't see how it would get anywhere aside from where you put it. Cleaning it is as simple as cleaning any other dirt, just use a vacuum.

I suppose it's not for every living environment but there are other methods, it's just one of them.

I was unfamiliar with the diatomaceous earth powder before you mentioned it. What I read it's effective against spiders. I have an unfinished basement with lots of boxes, I've seen a couple of (I suspect) brown recluse. I don't want to use anything toxic to us or the pets. It might be worth a try.
