Today marks four weeks since the last sighting of a bed bug
in my apartment. Four weeks is notable
because that’s how long it takes for a bedbug to grow from egg to adult. I’ve seen none of the bugs or their telltale
poop.
I sleep on a blanket on the floor where my bed will be. My pillows are next to the wall’s baseboard,
where bed bugs love to nest. There’s a
nightstand to one side of me and a dresser to the other. Again, good places to live. Even the folds in the blanket are good places
for them to hide.
I’ve seen nothing.
Especially the poop, I haven’t seen the poop. Bed bugs move and hide, but their poop
remains.
I thought I’d let you all in on this. However, I don’t consider my place cleared of
bed bugs. Not yet. I’ll wait another week before I finally start
putting things in the basement storage, I think. Just to be sure. Just to be double-sure.
I’m still hypervigilant.
I still don’t believe.
Maybe I'll have a pool party to celebrate: Bed Bug Beach Blanket Bingo.

sounds encouraging!
I so hope this nightmare has ended for you. Anyone would be shaken by the horrors you described.
I used to consider mosquitoes and flies to be the most annoying insects. Ha! Bed bugs will rock your world. They're like the baddest of the badasses in prison. Stay away from them.
I so glad to hear this. Just how big IS bed bug poop?
Not big, but they leave them everywhere. You'll find piles near where they nest.
It must be a wonderful feeling to have this finally end! I am very happy for my wonderful friend! Hugs!
