Detective work
My roommate has now gotten two bites during the past week so the battle continues. I have to say the situation is really starting to bug me. I feel antsy all the time and am taking on strange habits like:
- spending hours vacuuming all the corners and crevices of the apartment,
- avoiding touching the floor with socks or bare feet at all times,
- wearing 'bug fighting shoes' (crocs from the dollar store) when walking around the apartment,
- vacuuming my sheets before going to bed,
- collecting small black dots and pieces of lint as specimens,
- hanging my pyjamas in my closet during the day,
- keeping a chair for my backpack so it doesn't come in contact with the floor,
-spraying on bug spray before going to bed ( actually that has only been my roommate so far),
- taping the legs of the bed and putting them in tin cans,
-sprinkling Borax in the carpet and on the mattresses,
-spraying Raid around the edges of the rooms and on the mattresses
- and most importantly developing a close relationship with the washer and the dryer
We'll see how long my sanity lasts :)If we can find and an identify the bug the the landlord will get exterminators until then we will have to find inventive ways to catch some.
