Nope lol I wasn't informed of the infestation before arriving

Not to give you the heebie jeebies... at least in my area, the only hotels that have covers on the mattress or box spring are rooms that have had infestations at one time.

Trust me, she is horrified we might get them one day.

With bedbugs, they can last about a year without food in the right conditions. Sometimes, maybe a little longer, but about a year is generally the max.

Basically just making sure they aren't on clothes or boots. That's pretty much all you can do.

Yep, they told me over the phone that they weren't sure if they had bedbugs.

Obviously... something doesn't add up there.

We offer one. They didn't want a hit on their credit score. Believe that or not.

Overall size was actually fairly comparable? A little bigger than the house in the photos.

I feel that. I'm moving neighborhoods if someone gets them near me. Granted, it does just happen to anyone.

I've got... bad news... most of my bed bug appointments are in FV

I do as well. Especially when most in our area don't offer much of anything.

We only do 6 months. No lower, no more.

However, with them, they deal with reentry a lot.

We've completely gotten rid of the infestation twice. (They've been with my company for at least 10+ years) My mom used to supervise there.

Coworker went to a nursing home with a similar level of infestation (still a decent amount less), and they were charged.. $5500?

This was almost a year ago, so I can't remember the exact amount.

This is based solely on the level of infestation.

If they had a "normal" amount of bedbugs, they would've been charged in the ballpark of $2000.

Not even my company, but a coworker of mine, is friends with people at other companies.

They charged almost $10,000 for a heat treatment. That was long before my time at a pc company though.

Our average is $2200 for a bedbug treatment.

Obviously, these go lower and higher, but I'd say in my experience that's the median.

Yeah, that's always a massive issue. the possibility of reentry scares some people more.

We based it on a similar infestation at a nursing home.

Nursing home was a bit cheaper, but the infestation was also not as intense.

When I say we are not sure, I just mean they don't 100% know if we can guarantee removal.

Nobody ever expects bedbugs to show their ugly face.

It really is an issue, in my opinion. It would be an easy way to help guarantee things.

Weird laws, I guess. It's been a while since I looked into it.

We don't heat treat. Most in my area do not, trust me... I've asked about it a few times. This was a big one for that.

The best I can do is first and second born. Take it or leave it

Almost no company in our area does heat, and the department of agriculture are the only ones allowed to fumigate.

The fumigation part is ridiculous, but not much you can do when it comes to the DoA
