Some of you might think this is a weird thing to post about... if you don't live in the GTA or stay at hotels therein. Or if you don't know someone who's had the misfortune of having to deal with an infestation (*waves at Den*).

Apparently there's an interesting, non-toxic way of dealing with them re: furniture. Gross, but y'know, it's something ( Read more... )

I'm looking for an apartment right now and there are entire streets that I won't even call. I've been looking at the Bed Bug Registry before seeing any places and generally being VERY nervous.

And not everyone registers on the registry. *looks guilty*

There was a problem at my apartments. They caught the problem very early. I didn't have any myself. When they came to inspect my apartment, I was told my style of furniture didn't give them good hiding places. Therefore, they didn't like my place. I don't have a traditional bed. I have a sofabed where the couch just flattens into the bed at night.

You mean the talc/DE method? Yeah, I've had that going on for a few months now. Never did find any bugs in it. :P (Of course, I've never had many to begin with...) I've found that what's worked the best by faaaaar is steam cleaning. Damn expensive to buy a decent machine (~$400), but holy crap worth every penny.
