Bed Bug Billy – Gotta Scratch That Itch – My Strategy Against Bed Bugs

NOTE:  If you stayin Saint Louis you may want to avoid the Saum Apartments.  That is where I developed this process.

The solution that finally gave relief is diagrammed below. This trap works on the principle that bed bugs can not climb on slippery surfaces such as the plastic sheeting utilized. After implementing it the bedbugs that I found in the morning looked more emaciated by the week. At first they regularly showed up every morning.  Within 3 weeks they were not showing up in the morning any more on any sort of regular basis.  After about 1 month they stopped showing up in the morning except for one at the 2 month mark.   This solution is a good one because replacing the mattress would have resulted in it being infested by the hold outs in the carpet. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Your sheets and blankets must stay on the top flat surface of the bed. Avoid draping over the edge of the bed or you will give your little friends a way to latch on and climb up to feast on you.

Heating Strategies

Mattress Heating Strategy #1:  Plastic sealing up 10x10x10 cube around mattress and box spring. 2 1500 watt heaters on.  Only made it up to 94 degrees on a 70 degree day.  Need better heaters!.  Plastic Sheeting from Home Depot used.

Mattress Heat treat strategy parts required

  • SSR (solid state relay)
  • metal pipe 3 feet long minimum
  • slippery box spring stands to get the bed up off the floor
  • Heat gun

Other Strategies 

Locations

We are occupying BedBugLandia.  Thus the correct attitude is continuing vigilance. I woke up bite free after initial application of above noted measures. I found 2 bedbug Billys at the base of the bed.  Vacuumed around the base of the bed and did an inter mattress inspection.  It's going to be a long occupation.

The simple truth is life was better there before "div__sity".

QUCSEdit stand alone compile errors

Appears to be 2 types of errors 

  • Errors due to class changes going from Qt3 to Qt4 – These could probably be addressed with correct switch to include q3support library that is included with Qt4.  I copied the q3textstream.h to the working directory to get around referencing error.  By not setting this I am forcing all the references not compatible with Qt4 to surface.
  • Errors due to the translation files not being available for access
