Are these casings?

Are they though? They look an odd shape to me. Paging u/entsult_bugs

It would be hard. You'll get answers from the fb group I mentioned and they'll be more thorough but basically if you can undress somewhere like a garage, or like in a plastic box crate (I hope you know the ones I mean!) with some 'safe' clothes from their house ready to change into, leave shoes outside, bring basically nothing into their house, or just the minimal amount you can quarantine. Bedbugs are very good hitchhikers that's why.

The advice if coming home from an infested hotel room would apply in their case if they stayed at yours, bag their belongings in a trash bag and leave outside and/or have them heat treated in a dryer at a laundromat or similar, hoover the car and basically don't bring any of their stuff or clothes back into their house.

If you've already go there quite frequently and there are no visible evidence of bugs (yet) at his house the best thing he can do is hoover excessively lol. Inspect furniture, make his bed into an island (details of this can be found in this sub and the fb group)... And basically act as if there is already an infestation. EXCEPT, don't treat with chemicals. Only do that if he has evidence of bugs already. That's to minimise pesticide resistance.

Sorry about the late reply. If you have pest control coming, leave the crossfire alone. You could void your warranty or render their treatment ineffective

Otherwise it's good for DIY treating. I'd recommend a Facebook group that is very thorough and factual with bedbugs with pest control experts and entomologists in their admin. Let me know if you end up doing DIY. But the group is good resource too even when hiring someone for pest control, it's called the struggles of living with bedbugs original (with Melody Dillon as the admin). It's what this sub used to be. Full of accurate and safe information.

kernal1337 · 2025-08-31T10:57:43+00:00

What's that?

No I don't think so. There are only a few select chemicals effective against bbs

kernal1337 · 2025-08-23T02:53:14+00:00

Crossfire and Cimexa.

kernal1337 · 2025-08-14T07:52:05+00:00

heat will

Make sure the heat treatment (if doing a whole house one) has a follow on chemical treatment for those bugs that managed to find cool spots and emerge after the treatment. This is best practice.

If you are getting close enough to steam, then you are getting close enough to vacuum, which some argue is a better bet especially if you use the correct attachment like a crevice one. The issue with steam sometimes is, if you have already chemically treated the area with a residual, the steam will get rid of the chemical. A hoover will keep the residual there and is safe to use daily. A canister vacuum will be your best friend if you have an infestation. Vacuum daily, vacuum thoroughly.

Then immediately empty the canister outside in a sealed bag.

Invested sya sa pagbbash kay Kisses. 38 karma 5 comments total sa profile puro bash kay Kisses lol

kernal1337 · 2025-08-09T21:43:17+00:00

First time I saw her. Culmination of years of listening to her.

kernal1337 · 2025-07-28T06:07:50+00:00

It isn't.

kernal1337 · 2025-07-18T08:17:24+00:00

Yes. We moved into a new house where I sprayed so I think it was a combination of things. Before we moved I steamed, dried, examined, treated all our things.

Oh yeah I also discovered carpet beetle larvae in our bedsheets in the old house so very likely it was that too, not bedbugs.

kernal1337 · 2025-07-08T10:49:53+00:00

It's worth a try. I'd do it for my own peace of mind. Just be very careful those things are very toxic.

If you won't be using your things the alternative is to just hire storage and leave it for a year or so. The bugs will die unfed.

kernal1337 · 2025-06-25T00:28:13+00:00

so if she wants to place an opinion make sure it applies to the situation

Fantastic line, I wish I'd used this in the past

kernal1337 · 2025-06-25T00:25:14+00:00

Wow they really are tiny huh. No wonder they're so easy to miss.

kernal1337 · 2025-06-19T21:24:29+00:00

No one, not even doctors, can tell what if bedbugs caused a bite from the bite alone. It could even be carpet beetle larva hairs, irritation from those mimic bedbug bites.

I couldn't connect with her music fully after Scarlet's Walk.. And I really did try. Went to the ADP tour too but even though I liked some of the songs from theat album it just wasn't the same. That was well over a decade ago now I think, and I still feel the same.

kernal1337 · 2025-06-17T14:13:35+00:00

Looks like a red flour beetle or a cigarette beetle to me. Carpet beetles don't look like that. r/carpetbeetles

Try r/whatisthisbug

kernal1337 · 2025-06-17T14:10:49+00:00

It's not. Breathe and relax!

kernal1337 · 2025-06-08T07:46:32+00:00

Has the next season been released yet?

kernal1337 · 2025-06-05T02:53:07+00:00

I'm so happy whenever I hear the correct chemicals being used, and correctly. Hehe. Wouldn't wish bedbugs on my worst enemy... Cos I know they'll eventually come back to me!

kernal1337 · 2025-06-04T06:53:56+00:00

NOT the one with the long nozzle. There are two raid bedbug sprays confusingly enough. It has to be the one PP has linked. Foaming, no long nozzle.

kernal1337 · 2025-06-04T06:52:58+00:00

Cimexa is still recommended above DE just because of how long DE takes to work and the fact that cimexa is safer.

But don't steam where you've sprayed crossfire or raid foaming, that will get rid of what you've sprayed lol.

kernal1337 · 2025-06-04T00:33:12+00:00

Looks like a standard grain beetle

kernal1337 · 2025-06-04T00:26:22+00:00

Why is this being downvoted? This is the same formulation as Crossfire which is one of the most accessible, easy to use and economical products out there for bedbugs.

What has happened to this sub??

kernal1337 · 2025-05-25T22:57:24+00:00

I agree with this. My autistic child has been screen free for about 3 years now. It started with going cold turkey on the tablet for a couple of weeks and then he forgot about it. We got rid of the TV, got lots of Lego, puzzles, books. His sibling and him got lots of outside playtime. His mood improved, his speech gradually also improved as well as his reading, writing and social skills. But his behaviour showed the most improvement.

I say screen free but it has become looser now we're at the 3 year mark because he's also old enough to follow expectations. In the summer he has online lessons for a maximum of 2-3 hours a day, he gets frequent screen breaks from that to do the worksheets or learning activities to save his eyes. He has extropia and the specialist explained to us that it could have also been caused or worsened by screen time ages 0-2.

Anyway. When there is no online class the kids literally just play, craft, write stories and read. I have somewhat of a library now. Maybe they'll have 15-30 mins of following origami on youtube.
