I went about 3 weeks of no bites, no signs of bed bugs, after a visit from a PCO that basically drenched every room in the home so bad you can still smell the chemicals.
However today I open my blinds to find a giant nest of eggs and bed bugs just sitting there. They were not there 3 weeks ago. Found 6 adults, a few babies, and 70 eggs. I am serious, they spat out so many eggs in a short period it makes me think that bed bugs are just moving from chemical treated areas of the home to places chemicals don't reach. Another room the home? No signs on the bed, frame or pillows. However they love the ceiling. Every day a new bed bug magically appears there. All super plump from feeding. My beds are isolated with interceptors. Blankets are not hanging onto the floor. How are they feasting on my family and I, then retreat to random places quite a distance from the bed, all while possibly walking over residual chemicals and dusts? I swear to god I got super mutated bed bugs immune to pesticide, powders and the ability to climb up smooth metalic surfaces.
This marks a solid year of bed bug activity for me. I'm tired of it and financially drained. I am at the brinking point of selling my home. I've already got so many good offers. I got a place to move in to if I need to absolutely ditch everything. If only my father was still alive; he was a chemist and could probably get access to chemicals that actually do something. I don't care if its toxic to humans. I'll take weeks of poor health if it meant the 100% elimination of bed bugs. I've seen the same PCO guy visit over 11 times. He basically comes every two weeks even without appointment. The last visit was the first time he came in with additional help and it's not enough. There needs to be something done with the EPA to lift bans on effective chemicals available for professional use. The damage done by bed bugs are a lot more than just itchy bumps. If they actually transmitted disease, you bet your ass we would have guys in hazmat suits spraying on every street like they did with DDT 50 years ago.
