I did a cleaning job and brought home bed bugs.

Prices have continued to rise in recent years, and I couldn't live on my regular job alone
so I decided to take a part-time cleaning job.
The hourly wage was $20, so I thought it was okay.

So 2 , About 3 weeks ago I went in to clean and the room in the Bakerlane condo was old and had bed bugs.
Bed bugs. They are also called bedbugs. They are reddish, flat insects and disgusting.
Since we were cleaning in pairs, the other person was vacuuming up the bugs.

And ・ ・

I had completely forgotten about it for the last week or so, the back of my legs were itchy and red and swollen
I looked around and thought it was strange ? and saw a bed bug walking in the corner of my bed.

I've lived here for almost 10 years now and this has never happened
I thought about it and decided that it was most likely a bed bug or its insect eggs on my clothes
coming home from that Bakerlen's cleaning room.


I can't sleep because it itches.

It's so tiny you can't see it, so be careful everyone.

Excuse me.
The scary part of this story is that you went in to clean the room for work
and brought back bedbugs from there.
That means that the bedbugs are in many places from this room.
That's scary.

I wonder if your work company covered the cost of the treatment ?
I was actually thinking about
cleaning work as a second job ? toward the end of the year.
Are you still working, Mr. Vampire Insect ??

I think Hawaii is a good place for bed bugs to occur.
Not only because of the year-round warm weather, but also because we have visitors from all over the world,
so it is easy to imagine that it can propagate through their behavior.
You mentioned an older room this time, but it is possible to get
bed bugs regardless of how new or well cared for the room is.
Sometimes the news says it happens in movie theaters, etc.
Once you are affected, you don't feel like a stranger anymore.

To prevent bed bugs, when traveling, once you enter your room, put your luggage in the bathtub
and check around the bed ( under the mattress and headboard ) and open your luggage if it looks safe.
When you go to clean the room, you should also check in this way first, and
if there are bed bugs, you should immediately contact the owner, and the employer should be notified that the room is contaminated with bed bugs, and therefore cannot be cleaned.

Vampire Insect,

Even if you hire a contractor, I believe you will be instructed to wrap the mattress in a bed bug cover.
First, why not buy a mattress cover or base cover from Walmart or Home Depot?

The vendor told us that if the bed is directly on the floor, we should pull a carpet under the bed that has about 20-30 cm more room than the bed, and
sprinkle diatomaceous earth powder on top of it. If bedbugs come in contact with the diatomaceous earth powder when they crawl on it, they will die of dehydration.
The contractor used their own diatomaceous earth powder, which is probably of better quality, but HomeDepot and others also sell diatomaceous earth powder for bed bugs.

I think it was about a week from discovery until the contractor came
I wrapped double-sided tape around the sides of the mattress to catch the bed bugs that were crawling up. I think it reduces the number that come up to the bed.

Some people on the internet are trying to get rid of them themselves.
If the breeding is still in the early stages and the damage is minor, you may be able to handle it yourself.

Poor Busybody,

I haven't told my employer, so I'm not getting any money for treatment
because I can't prove that the bed bug got on my clothes at work.
I still belong to the company I work for.


Thank you, Koji,
for teaching me so much.
I immediately bought cedar oil spray.
I'll wait and see about hiring a contractor, it costs quite a bit of money.



I've been watching a lot of videos on Youtube about killing bed bugs !
one bug lays 5 eggs every day and they keep growing.
I'm scared.
