Now, iirc I made a thread here a while back where I posted a picture of a bed bug and it was identified as such. After a while, the bites randomly stopped, but over the past month I've been being bitten/having run-ins with these pests again. Just the day before yesterday I pulled an all-nighter and found a bedbug crawling inside my shirt and biting me. As of right now, it is 1:30AM and I have a bite on the underside of my arm. I got up to inspect and found the culprit crawling on my shirt and I promptly drowned it (and the shirt) in the tub. I can't sleep and I'm sure the second I lay down I'll be attacked again.
Money is very tight and there is no money available for a PCO, just like last time. It would difficult to get my grandmother, who's roof I live under, to acknowledge the issue anyway; she doesn't want to hear it. I'm the only one who seems to respond to bites, which now appear almost immediately after the bed bugs bites me. I have literally no way to get this house treated, and I'm sure the infestation will only continue to worsen.
This post is partially to vent and ask for suggestions for keeping these things at bay. I was thinking of investing in some DE Earth, and duct tapping around my mattress, which is on the floor. But that sounds like wishful thinking..
