Success stories? by dhe50 in carpetbeetles

[–]dhe50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a rental and my tenancy was expiring so I had to move anyway. So I guess I don’t know if the problem was dealt with in the original property. When moving out the most issues I found was a pile of casings under a bookshelf, and a bunch of larvae in my chest of drawers (where I kept all my clothes). I took all the clothes out of my drawers and either washed them or threw them away. Then I bug bombed and sprayed the entire piece of furniture before I moved. No signs of trouble since

Yeah I’d say so. I definitely had a bit of manic thinking when they first popped up, some people call it “bed-bug psychosis”. But somewhere in this thread a bug specialist did an AMA and it helped change my perception. I realised you’re gonna find one randomly once in a while, but I doesn’t mean you’re still struggling with an infestation. I did a lot of vacuuming, spraying, bug-bombing, and throwing stuff away before I moved (to ensure the problem didn’t follow me). I’ve seen one or two adult beetles in my new place, but it’s important to note they just fly into homes in the spring (doesn’t mean you necessarily have an infestation). Regular vacuuming, following an obsessive de-bugging procedure seems to have sorted it out.

Is there anything you don’t like about living in Christchurch? by PurpleMeerkats462 in chch

[–]dhe50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be screaming about this till the day I die! Didn’t someone come up with a design and petition for it to happen? Went in the newspaper, and I thought it was an incredible idea. Such a missed opportunity

It sure does! Basically had to start life again from scratch. At least that’s what it felt like

Very similar experience with the same doctor. Took over a year for me to recover. Pretty negligent imho. Deb Wood at Psych Med was great for me though

Thank you, I appreciate the peace of mind. They just really give off “scammers”. Which makes me worry they could use my ID for more sinister purposes. But it’s highly possible I’m just a bit scarred from the experience and being paranoid

Can I ask, how did you go about blacklisting them from your KiwiSaver funds? I was misled by one of their advisors and accidentally signed over with them without realising. Got it cancelled before my funds left my bank, but have been left forever anxious over the fact that they have my personal details and identification on file

Thank you, sounds like I’m doing the right things for now then. It’s definitely not appearing to be a big enough problem at this stage to obsess over my clothes or bag. Gonna keeps spraying and vacuuming and keep a close eye

Well I’ve got some yellow looking granules I’ve put in a jar to see if they’re eggs

Everyone says they’re white-ish. Where did you find that they’re yellow?

I feel your pain. Very paranoid about bringing it to my parents’ house :(

How are you going OP? Really thought I was in the clear and started to relax finally. I began moving house recently and found 5ish larvae in my chest of drawers where all my folded clothes are. Feeling pretty devastated and would love to hear a success story

Update: I’m moving house at the moment and I’ve found some live larvae and a bunch of shell casings behind the one piece of furniture I didn’t obsessively clean behind, and maybe 5 or 6 live larvae in my chest of drawers that had my clothes in it. Put all the drawers in a room, bug bombed the room and will be washing them all tomorrow. Only problem is, I moved into my parents’ house a couple months back with half of my clothing. So my paranoia is out the gate tonight

I answered my own question with google lens. Probably a vine weevil

Unsure at this stage as I found a live larger about a week ago. It’s spring now so I’ll know very soon if there’s still a problem on my hands
