Roommate has a bitch visiting who was just traveling throughout Europe for two weeks.
Pretty sure I just found a bed bug nymph in my kitchen.

I’m so tired of living with roommates. This is the third time I’ve had bed bugs and every single time it’s been my roommates bringing them in.

As a seasoned pro at this by now, diatomaceous earth, neem oil, washing/drying clothes and storing them in garbage bags while “disinfecting” the house, and a steamer is just about all you need to solve the problem.
It’s not scary like the internet makes it out to be, it’s just a tedious pain in the ass.

Biggest pro tip from me is to do whatever it takes to not be a 30 year old failure like me with roommates that you hate.

Your mom was not as good in bed last as her backpage profile advertised.

<still has bed bugs
>blames europeans

consider this, your neighbor has them. they do spread through vents and shit.

it might help, the diatomaceus earth, buy the only way itll eradicate them is if its saturated with nitroglycerin.

diatomaceus earth doesn't do shit to bed bugs at all you've been scammed that shit just cuts up your lungs that's it

I’ve literally seen them die when exposed to it or walk through it.
It is retardedly dusty and I fucking hate it though.

I had bed bugs and literally filled a cup with it and put a bed bug in there and shook it up every day for 2 weeks and the fucker was alive and well at the end of it. It's shit. It doesn't work. You probably bought some that has some sort of poison in it that actually kills bugs, but the poison was doing the work not the DE. DE is a scam it's a chemical with industrial uses but killing bedbugs is not one of them.

I am not knowledgeable enough to fight this point. I just went based on other things online. It’s wack that your bugs were still alive after such exposure, it’ll make me rethink how I deal with my current roommates bullshit exposure to them.

idk about DE, but I just tested boric acid (similar mechanism of action) on a cupfull of ants and I can confirm it works. Slow, painful death, took a full day to kill most of them and two to kill em all.

How soul crushing is it to have your roommates having sex while you get nothing?
