Oh i know highland. I'm only taking my desk/computer/chair and a bag of clothes. I don't want to risk anything with this new place.

Good idea with a long-term bedbug infestation ... might want to burn the clothes on your back once you leave!

;)


Seriously glad to hear it! :)

Be careful.... those fvckers can hide in TINY cracks. I would use heat on the individual components, anything over 115-120f or so will kill them within a couple hours and most PC parts SHOULD be fine at that temp. (Use particular care with the PSU since not only is it warm and dark but easily accessible to bugs!)

*(Use a full-size oven on warm CAREFULLY!)

Then when the case is empty (ALL electrical stuff) take a high pressure hose to it then let it dry outdoors for a week or so.

If you REALLY want to be sure, dust it well with food-grade diatomaceous earth when dry then hose down again a few days later.


And if the chair is fabric I would STRONGLY suggest ditching it. (sorry)

Congrats! Must be exciting for sure. I can't imagine living in an apartment in Toronto or any big city myself, I'd want to off myself. You'll enjoy having more breathing room and an actual yard and stuff. What area are you moving in?

And yeah be careful not to bring the bed bugs with you, I'd consider renting one of those temporary sea cans at the new place, put all your stuff in there, then take it out a bit at a time. That will give you a better chance to inspect everything one by one, vs, a moving truck showing up and you're rushing to put everything in the house.

You know they have houses in Toronto with yard and garages right?

My old 2800sq ft house in Toronto had detached garage and lot size of 50.5' x 211'

Good luck with the move and getting into a new routine. That's sometimes the best thing that comes out of a move is the guaranteed changes and new opportunities ahead.

Wish you the best.
