Not clear what you are doing to rid yourself of the bedbugs, but the heat treatment sounds interesting:

It's supposed to be by far the most effective method to get rid of them if they fully infest a structure. They will tent in an entire building and heat it to around 120-140f for several hours.

Also no tolerance problem and no toxic residue.

Wonder how bad that is for paint, wallpaper, any veneers on furniture etc. But that does sound like a rather clean way of doing it without using chemicals.

As long as you are in a stand-alone building and not an apartment block, say. Guess you'd have to be careful to remove items that are sensitive to heat (and disinfect those things separately with another method?). As a bonus, maybe it will fix badly-soldered video cards while you are at it?

Glad your bro made it over and got you something better for your back.

We have cats who have had fleas a couple of times. I believe they are related to bedbugs. Was seriously huge mega frustration for weeks on end, but eventually we got rid of all the little bastards.

diatomaceous earth was helpful.
flea spray was helpful
vacuuming every day was helpful

you will beat them.
its just more of a war than a battle.

luckily enough my roommate is a pesticide guy and sprayed my bedroom with chrystansium extract

Aw man, that sucks! Any idea where they came from? Did you stay in a hotel or anything recently?

Are you in an apartment? Casually ask the neighbors if they are having any problems.
Now that i think about it, if you were in an apartment you'd talk to the landlord/maintenance guy, i would think.

Also, the roast you leave out will be done in time for dinner

That's essentially just Pyrethrin and many bed-bugs are resistant to it unfortunately.

You need a "bed-bug" guy.
