Yes, but that's a real mixed bag. We basically have to move out of our apartment everything but the largest pieces of furniture. Then they come through and spray chemicals which supposedly won't hurt us our our daughter after they dry.

Then they come back in a few weeks and repeat. And you have to live in the apartment in between treatments so that the bed bugs have something to feed on (if any survived the first treatment), otherwise the bed bugs will go dormant and you won't know if you got them or not. They can live for about a year without food.

In the mean time everything not chemically sprayed has to be heated to 120 F for 60 minutes or washed since it might harbor eggs. Everything washed has to be dried on high heat. A lot of synthetics will be ruined and have to be replaced.

And of course we'll have to rent a storage unit to move things to while they treat the apartment.

Actually, maybe this section should be moved from "Around the Campfire" to the survival forum. It's not life and death, but this is pretty big.
