So I'm not sure what other people's experience with Bedbugs are, but i just wanted to put this out, there's this biopesticide called Aprehend that actually works. It has to be put on with a special sprayer that costs like $500 but ya boy juice knows everything about paint sprayers, and found a $60 airbrush to put it on with.
I couldn't get completely rid of them for years. I can't tell you how many steam treatments, and treatments with temprid (which is good) I had done over the years...but they always came back. I threw out all the furniture, I bought new beds, everything. My house is only like 2 years old and they were in the fucking walls.
One treatment of Aprehend and a week later they were done. The product was expensive but for like $300 I was done with bedbugs and had enough product to treat 5 houses. They are a trauma. If anyone is struggling with them DM me and I'll tell you what I've learned
I lived above a screen printing business owned by the landlord. I had these weird itchy rashes for a while and went to a dermatologist who said it was Psoriasis. I was super depressed and didn't change my bed sheets for a while. On the day I was moving out after the landlord told me to leave a month early, i pull up my sheets and see hundreds of these bugs and just leave the sheets on the bed, pack up all my cloth items in black garbage bags, and gtfo of there.
The landlord fucking charged me a cleaning fee for the sheet left on the bedbug infested mattress, above her husbands screen printing store, that printed shirts for large events in the city.
To this day I check creases in hotels and basically refuse to allow any used furniture into my home that might conceal these evil creatures.
Thanks for the advice. My parents constantly get them, making it nigh impossible to spend the night at their house.
I swear it was so bad when I lived with them it horribly exacerbated my unaliving tendencies. They're cursed little monsters (I'm allergic, too!) and the world would be better off if they were annihilated imo.
A lot of folk will never know they have bed bugs - the only indicators being blood from squashing them in one's sleep, filth in their nests, blood from their fecal matter, and their eggs.
For me, I'll know I have them when my skin looks like this after sleeping.

It is the itchiest thing imaginable. So much worse than mosquitoes or other insect bites, in my experience. When they bite, it feels like an electric shock. I'll jolt, scramble on my bed looking for the villain, only for their ridiculous speed to make it impossible to catch them in the act.
I get paranoid even thinking about them. If I feel what feels like a bite, I won't be able to sleep. I'll spend all night lifting up my mattress, my bed frame, looking underneath everything, opening every vent, and checking every corner. They're sneaky as shit, though, and can prove almost impossible to find. Worse still, they're amazing climbers.
If you see stains like this on your sheets or pillows, be wary. You likely squashed a few of the monsters in your sleep.

They can hide anywhere. I don't have pictures of it, but my parents had doors with grates/vents on them, and they were stained dark red and brown from the bed bug infestation. They can get in your outlets, too.

Imagine a blissful night of sleep being interrupted by this thing crawling on the back of your neck. I picked one off of me and I swear I was stunned. I started squishing the fucker in my fingers trying to figure out what the hell it was before throwing it across the room. In hindsight, I should have flushed it down the toilet. It probably would have survived, regardless. The bastards survive almost anything, especially bug sprays specifically marketed towards killing them.

Don't let the images or my descriptions make anyone reading paranoid. It feels like even mentioning the words "bed bug" is enough to manifest them into existence, sometimes. You probably know if you have them. If you're worried, be on the lookout for stains like those in the spoiler, and cylindrical off-white tubes about the size of a pen's tip. Kill on sight, and show no mercy. They will show you none.

Diatomic earth is also lethal to them, and very cheap afaik
make sure to use the food grade diatomacious earth FYI.
Damn, I have no experience with bedbugs in my life, can you describe why they are so awful?

They also hid in my headphones for a long time and used to suck blood from my ears , I came to know after I opened the ear pads.
