Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Landlords...help

Thanks I will check that out

mjbgalt - given what you report, you have been much more than a landlord and seem still to be trying to go beyond. This is good and praiseworthy - but whomever takes the over raising kids needs to make certain that they, and all of the stuff they bring, is thoroughly rid (fumigated) of the pests - and those little buggers are tenacious. As for the house - tented/fumigated as someone recommended - and then sitting empty for a spell without any human feed for bedbugs - and you should escape the infestation. I sure hope that something better can be put together for those kids.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Turn up the heat for a couple hours. 118°F for 90 minutes will kill them. You’ll probably need to rest a portable heater. Your local equipment rental should have one.

Fuggit.


The cat that guards the pearly gates dont see it that way.

Get enough heat into the room this time of year?

This

Superheat the inside

They are being taken in by the grandparents...they are aware of the problem and I know They basically threw everything away and let the kids start fresh.

Just really feel for them. The older kid is having blood sugar issues and the younger has only one kidney that functions and its not 100 percent either.

Their "dad" is a piece of trash and suddenly reappeared and wanted them for the money. The older kid (12) said nope...you only want us for money and we aren't going to you"

Now there's lawyers involved. Gonna get worse I suppose.

Do not bring anything to your place. Gawd, I’d throw away my clothes after working over there.

Hire a pro to spray. House won't need to be tented, but the poison is residual, and you don't want kids or pets at the house for at least a day. Follow up spray a few weeks down the road (as per pro's recommendation) and you're good to go.

Yep. Not a damn thing coming here from there.

This is good. If you are tenacious enough you can get rid of them. Of course I have no idea how long this infections been going on, and how deep they are rooted, so that's something you should consider when deciding which route you want to pursue.

Fogger diatomaceous eart, and Ortho duel action spary are your main tools.

As previously mentioned, first steps are usually to get rid of any mattresses in infected room. Shampoo carpets, and give a heavy dusting with diatomaceous earth. They also seem to like drapes, especially those that were close to beds, so toss those too.

Pay close attention to any place someone slept. Spray the nooks and cranie etc with the Ortho spay I mentioned. If people are in the house, spray it around the beds. It's powerful enough to kill bed bugs that cross it.

Fog every room. After a few hours, put out some disposable traps and check them the next day. Where every you have bugs, fog it again. Keep fogging every day until all your traps are empty, then hit the whole place once more. Put out some new traps and check them a few days until you are sure.

Easy peezy .Bug bombs

My bud runs a pest extermination outfit in Maine. He uses the heat method mentioned above.

Call a pro!

Heed slumlord, king of the mud people.

Strip down and suit-up before ya go in with some cheap disposal coveralls.

Bag them or burn them when you are done then get back in your clothing..

Getting a little scarce due to current events but some are still on the shelf in the paint department at Home Depot by me priced @ 2 pair for $10...

Nope, doing the right thing makes not a fool.

Listen to whatever Higs says....
