Bedbugs in the apartment

Anyone who has ever woken up in the morning with a chain of red blisters from the bites of nocturnal parasites could not help but wonder where the bugs come from. It seems that the apartment is clean and well-groomed, and is located in the city center, and there are no animals in it, but insects that bite and do not let sleep appear and do not plan to disappear. Here it is necessary to understand where bed bugs come from and what are the most common erroneous opinions about the infection of an apartment by them among the population.

 

All ways for the appearance of bedbugs in the house

The main and leading source of infection of the premises with bedbugs are neighboring premises. This is especially true for apartments in old, Soviet high-rise buildings and apartment buildings being built in rural areas. There are no questions here about why bedbugs appear: everyone knows that they come from neighbors.

Bedbugs themselves are not very mobile and not very fast insects. They do not know how to fly, they run much slower than cockroaches, but they can do without food for quite a long time, and therefore they are capable of long-distance travel.

In suburban areas, bugs find human housing by smell, and move into it from chicken coops and rabbitries, where they parasitize on the skin of medium-sized domestic animals. However, parasitism on other mammals and birds for bedbugs is rather an exception, and more often they move to a new room from another house or apartment in which they fed on the blood of other people.

In apartment buildings, bed bugs spread very quickly. They move freely through ventilation holes, slotted channels for electrical wiring and just slots in the front doors. Due to their very flat body, they are able to crawl even where no cracks or holes seem to be visible.

Often bed bugs get into a new room from afar, brought here by the owners of the house or apartment, or their guests. For example:

  • With suitcases, backpacks and things brought from a trip. Especially from a trip to warm countries. Tropical Egypt, Thailand, Indonesia and India are a real paradise for heat-loving bed bugs. In this case, the owners themselves must remember where the bugs come from in the apartment: the place of their last journey before the appearance of the bugs, most likely, was the historical homeland of blood-sucking parasites. At the same time, it is enough to bring a single adult female into the house, which will lay eggs here and give rise to a new population. The bug can hide or accidentally get into the folds on things, into a suitcase, bags, shoes, and, having moved through several time zones, will find itself in new favorable conditions. This method of transferring bedbugs is especially relevant for backpackers who often change hotels.It is enough for one parasite from some “bug-bug” to get lost in the folds of a backpack, and with a high probability in a couple of weeks it will move to a typical Russian apartment and begin colonizing new territories.
  • With purchased furniture. This is one of the most common ways to infest new apartments and houses with bed bugs. Especially if the furniture is not bought new. In furniture factories or in stores, bedbugs have nothing to eat, and therefore new products are almost certainly free of them. But furniture from infected houses and apartments is the main breeding ground for bedbugs. For biological reasons, these insects prefer to settle in the beds and sofas on which their future victims sleep, and therefore such a sofa, even vacuumed, can bring a lot of torment to new owners after purchase.
  • On clothes. Although bedbugs prefer to bite on exposed skin, very often they hide in clothes taken off before going to bed or simply do not have time to escape if a person gets up early and quickly dresses. Thus, bedbugs can be brought into your home by visiting a house they have infected, or by receiving guests from such a house. Here the case can play a cruel joke: there are cases of bedbugs in expensive clothing stores on unworn samples. Bed bugs get on them either from a person living in a "bug bed" or from neighboring premises.
  • With tech. Bed bugs prefer to spend the daylight hours in warm places. Therefore, laptops, tablets, scanners, microwave ovens and any other equipment are very attractive to them. Especially often tiny larvae are found in them, for which even the holes of the speakers are open.
  • On animals. This is an extremely rare way of transferring bedbugs, but it has a place to be.Bed bugs do not parasitize on cats and dogs because of the thick coat of the latter and dense skin. However, bats and birds can be carriers, and for any reason, such a carrier that appears in the house can leave the parasite here.

And further: We catch bedbugs and put deadly experiments on them - this is a must see!

But often the bugs in the apartment do not move and are not transferred. In many cases, they live here for decades, without immediately betraying their presence.

 

Bedbugs as masters in the house

Once having appeared in the dwelling, the bugs inhabit in it such places from which they are hardly expelled even by professional pest control teams. Therefore, situations are not uncommon when in autumn an ​​apartment or house is treated with special chemicals, but individuals accidentally remaining on balconies and cold loggias from the summer hibernate and survive the persecution of their relatives in warm rooms. New owners, upon entering the apartment, check its cleanliness, listen to stories about all cleaning activities and live in comfort for the first six months. And in the spring, with an increase in air temperature, dormant bugs wake up and confidently save residents from restful sleep.

Often, bedbugs in an apartment fall into pseudoanabiosis in the absence of food. This is typical for housing in which no one lives for more than a few months. Such a room may be perfectly clean at first glance, but behind the baseboards, in the crevices of cabinets and sofas, insects and their larvae doze in it, ready to come to their senses on the very first night, smelling the smell of a human body.

Bed bugs in furniture

 

In addition, if bedbugs have already lived in a house or apartment, then operations to persecute them with a certain probability will be ineffective.If only because they probably spread to neighboring apartments and will quickly return here after chemical treatment. Therefore, housing, in which bedbugs have already been persecuted, may well turn into a bedbug in the future.

 

Invading bugs, or how bugs get into the house from neighbors

But still, the most common way for bedbugs to enter the house is to migrate from neighboring rooms. Here it is impossible to say what bugs start from: they simply spread, attracted by the presence of a person. It is impossible to isolate an apartment from them: bedbugs will penetrate through sockets, along external walls through windows, through ventilation, through doors.

It is important that the bugs move to new premises one by one, and therefore, with regular wet cleaning and a small total amount of furniture, it is not difficult to notice such pioneers. In addition, bedbugs are slow-moving: an adult insect overcomes a meter of distance at most in a minute, and therefore they simply cannot come to visit at night. And the first settlers are easy to destroy when they wander around the apartment.

Very often, bedbugs run en masse from neighbors who carry out pest control, resembling cockroaches. If the pest control is professional and effective, then they will not have time to go beyond the neighbor's apartment. But if everything is done the old-fashioned way, with dichlorvos and tansy brooms, then with a high probability a hungry crowd of refugees will move into a hitherto clean apartment in just a few days.

And further: We catch bedbugs and put deadly experiments on them - this is a must see!

 

Where do bed bugs appear in the first place and how to prevent them

It is important to remember that the sanitary condition of housing does not affect its attractiveness for bedbugs. Parasites equally willingly populate both filthy barracks and elite apartments. Only in the latter, due to the smaller amount of furniture and its better condition, there are significantly fewer places for their normal stay, and even the first settlers die under slippers and brooms, not having time to multiply. And when figuring out why bedbugs appear in the house, the cleanliness of the room should be remembered last.

The main gates of a house or apartment for bedbugs are ventilation ducts, sockets and pipes for water and heating, entrance doors and windows. And the most common sources of new insects are clothes, purchased furniture, used furniture, travel backpacks and bags. After entering the premises, insects hide in those rooms where people sleep, under beds, in wardrobes, under carpets, behind baseboards, in the crevices of furniture and mattresses.

The main places in the apartment where bedbugs can hide

 

In order to block all the ways of penetration of bedbugs into an apartment with a certain degree of reliability, you should:

  • purchase a dryer for things, and after visiting suspicious premises or hotels, process things in it at a temperature of more than 50 ° C. Bedbugs die already at 48 ° C, and such treatment will destroy them with guarantee.
  • After long trips with overnight stays in bed bugs, you can pack things in airtight vacuum bags and take them to dry cleaning. This must be done with backpacks.
  • During the summer, mosquito nets should be used on the windows. It will protect well from adult bugs, and small larvae that can penetrate through the cells are less mobile and less likely to move along the outer walls.
  • Carry out additional insulation of the sockets by covering the glass inserted into the hole in the concrete with silicone.
  • Arrange bunches of mugwort, tansy, or lavender in the vents and change them every two to three weeks. You can treat these holes regularly with vinegar or mothballs, but the rest of the house may not like it. Such products both repel bedbugs with a pungent odor and mask the smell of people living in the room.

But if bedbugs appeared in large quantities in the apartment, you need to start fighting them with completely different methods. Namely - to entrust the matter to professionals.

      Participated in the construction of an "elite" house. Russian builders, Tajik finishers who lived in a house under construction. From them and bedbugs, which our valiant electrician tried to poison to no avail.So it turns out: people come in with show-offs, such as a new building, the elite ... And there they already live ... bedbugs. Sad but true. My personal conclusion: less show-offs and more “realness” and humanity, namely, build a house with your own hands 🙂

Dropped in for treatment. After a couple of days everything went away, and after a couple of weeks there were no traces left.

    He studied in St. Petersburg at SPbGASU, lived in the first hostel in the studio. town, between Aviators' Park and Victory Park. Bed bugs got in. Lots of bedbugs! In relief, I looked like an orange, and all speckled. Disinsection was carried out twice - it did not help! As a result, a roommate - my namesake - bought two cylinders of dichlorvos and sprayed them all over the room to the bottom - freaked out, so to speak. It was like death to enter the room) After that, the following happened: small creatures crawled out of their minks and sat on the walls. We caught them manually (in no case do not press them - their colleagues run to the smell of blood), and burned them. The most interesting thing was different: as far as I know, the bug is not a swarming animal, and the bugs do not have a commander-in-chief (like a uterus in bees).But after the event with dichlorvos, along with a trifle, two fat creatures crawled out onto the walls, very similar to the same bugs, but 8-10 times more! After dichlorvos procedures and catching all the creatures that were in sight, not a single bug bit me until the end of my studies!

    After being treated by a professional, they bite again after 2 weeks. In Soviet times, we did not know these creatures. Or maybe they are specially propagated - all newspapers and advertisements on the pavement are full of ads about the destruction of bedbugs. In short, they make a lot of money on bedbugs: they paid 3 thousand for work, but there are still bedbugs. Will have to re-order.

    Bed bugs are terrible! Whoever did not have them will never understand the torment of people. Never knew what it was. Relatives made repairs in their apartment, bought cheap building materials, and after a while they got bed bugs. After their arrival to visit us, four months later, they appeared with us. Biting horror like blisters, terrible allergies, itching like a leper, a nightmare. They only gnawed at me, but did not touch my husband and child. Relatives bought the "Executioner" tool, processed it on their own, they disappeared from them. We fought with folk remedies, steamed the sofas, put them on the balcony, in the cold, vacuumed everything and washed everything that we didn’t do. They are gone! Five months later, the nightmare began again. They started biting again. Relatives never showed up.They called a specialist, he processed the entire apartment for 1500 rubles. Until they bite. Although in our house he already came to the call, on the tenth floor, and we live on the sixth. Considering that they crawl through ventilation, crevices, sockets, then who knows, maybe this horror will begin again ...

    Horror, I killed 4 bugs in the evening, so at 2 o'clock in the morning they came up with a whole camp. I don’t sleep for a day, I itch and swear ((The next day I went to work on the day, somehow defended my shift, came as a lady, and on the second day the same story is a hollow hell! Small freaks, but I don’t understand why out of 5 people just eat me alive. I learned one lesson: you can’t crush them. In 2 days I crushed a bunch of matchboxes. The more I crushed them, the more they came at the same hour! Do not crush them, otherwise they will come to you a whole battalion, and with a jar and a dropper to take you to a dark corner and drain your blood.

    Today I found a whole battalion, on a mattress cover - along the edges, in a room in which almost no one lives. I almost lost consciousness, never seen anything like it. I took off the cover, stuffed it into the bath, poured out a bubble of Domestos. Then I twisted it in the machine twice. In the room I sprayed 2 bottles of dichlorvos for 300 and 400 ml. She got sick, she almost died. I caught them along the wall (I just didn’t know that you couldn’t push). I've been scalded since two days. It's almost 2 am now. I drove to the store three times, and also bought 3 bottles of 440 ml each. In the end, it seems, everything was raked out, but the room was sealed with adhesive tape. TOMORROW I will look ... And splash again. Maybe it's the mattress, it's new, bamboo.

I raised my hand, and there was one bug sitting there, I went nuts and quickly crushed it. And, of course, I didn't rush this much, because. you shouldn't push it. As a result, in the morning I found a small company of bedbugs in the sofa. Having cursed them, I filled them with a remedy called "Cucaracha". After some time, this helped, but then again they came running due to the fact that the neighbors began to starve them. Here is the full tin.

    And I am familiar with these insects. I live in a hostel, and it turns out there are bedbugs ... They sit in the seams on mattresses and crawl out at night. During the day I inspect these seams and fry them with a lighter, they run away, but they do not have time - they are so slow and clumsy! When you burn, they just stink! And if crushed - the smell of cognac. At first it was very disgusting, but then I got used to it. Each time I examined the place where they mostly sit. And surprisingly they are there all the time. During the day I disinfect the mattress with a lighter - not a single one! And the next day they sit there again. Here, I think, the creatures! Sometimes I go to work on the subway - and then this bastard runs after you! I thought well once - and burned this room with bedbugs. Said the wire was shorted. And he moved out of there - not a foot there again.

    Damn, what a bunch of scum they are!

    1) Lived in a rented apartment for 4 years, everything was ok. Once I came home from work, and I feel - the stench is concrete, as it turned out later - the neighbors poisoned the bugs.And where did these bitches go, what do you think? In short, in a week the first bites - 3 pieces in a row ... I got up 3-4 times at night, turned on the light and those who were sitting on the walls, caught and burned. But that doesn't solve the problem, of course. I bought 15 ampoules of "Executioner" (it cost about 70 rubles apiece), got up at 6 in the morning and flooded the whole room - all the furniture, all the clothes, all the wallpaper, the entire floor, in short, everything! And he went to work. In the evening he came, opened all the windows and left again. They write - no smell, well, this is a cheap lie! The stink stood concrete and puke! Aired for more than a day. It helped that time. Then he lived there for another year and did not see a single reptile, but this is because they did not have time to spread throughout the apartment. You need to poison right away!

    Now number two. I got off easy last time, that's for sure...

    2) I moved to a two-room apartment, the house is old (70 years old), the neighbors are shit. On the one hand, a drunk who walks around without taking off his shoes, and brings the same fools to visit, and on the other, a family of blockheads (6-7 people, no less) ... A couple of months later I see - shit is sitting on the wall. Well, I think, pi * ts, they arrived ... I burned it and waited for bites - but no, it passed. Six months later - in another room - again on the wall, burned again and again nothing, the second time it passed. BUT now, having lived a little more than a year in this apartment and having made repairs in one of the rooms, I found 3-4 bites on my legs. And now it hasn’t passed, now the priest! I threw out the bed, all the wardrobes, half of the clothes, but these creatures are already everywhere. He went to sleep in another room and was immediately bitten there. Now everyone knows the wonderful feeling that these bastards are climbing on you, day and night! Lyapota. And it won't be over soon. One of these days I will call the special services (I will have to pay from 5 to 10 thousand rubles).If they are all over the hut (and this is a fact), then it’s just not possible to get rid of it. And, of course, there are no guarantees that after some time they will not crawl again from the same place they came from. You need to poison the whole house! But this will never happen. Good luck, patience and health to all! All this you will need in the fight against small bastards.

    P.S. I recently learned that they can even climb OUTER walls into a window or balcony. How sweet it is to live with such information...

      I have the same song - behind the wall is Uzbekistan (4 pieces), and behind them in the room is a drunk with bedbugs (a helper, he brought it from there). I sit on the Internet, study information and read reviews ... I think that I still have ahead of me ... Rented cheap housing, a lot of personal things and summer starts in a couple of weeks, and it's warm - and the bugs will be in full swing ))

    First, they wound up with my mother, an alcoholic neighbor brought. Then they crawled towards me. Once they poisoned me - it didn’t help, they poisoned me again - it seems, it didn’t. Six months later again. I was in the hospital with the children, I come home, and my husband says: we have bedbugs. I didn’t believe him, I think he says it on purpose, it scares him. The day passed, she didn’t sleep well at night, a day later the child began to cry at one in the morning, she says it hurts. And I realized that my husband was telling the truth. On the dresser, when the light was turned on, she found and killed, then two on the sofa, then on the dresser again. Now neither I nor the child sleep. It's hell, it feels like they're crawling all over me. The nest was never found, the room is 13 meters, there are 5 of us: 3 children and my husband and I. He doesn’t care, they don’t bite him, but I have blisters and scratches, I thought it was an allergy.

    Hello. I'll tell you about my experience. I work in a hospital. He brought bedbugs from there on himself. Apparently, one or two clung to me.There are a lot of Uzbeks, Kyrgyz in the hospital… In general, I only recently realized that these are bed bugs when there were more of them. If you spray yourself all over and the bed with any deodorant spray (even cheap ones), bed bugs do not bite overnight. But the smell of perfume is strong. But they don't bite. Crawl nearby and only. The strong smell of bedbug perfume is disorienting, as I understand it.

    How do I remove the bed bug from the bed so as not to crush it and not wash my hands after it? Very simple. I fold the wet towel in four and carefully pick up the bug from the bed in a napkin. I quickly fold the napkin (with the bug inside) two more times and throw it into an empty 5-liter plastic drinking water bottle. And screw the lid on tight.

    Things do not need to be washed at high temperatures. Bedbugs, like fleas, simply choke in the water. Even in cold weather (by the way, the best way to deal with a jumping flea that you caught with two fingers and don’t know what to do next is to dip these two fingers (with a flea between them) into a cup of water, unclench your fingers under water, the flea will choke and will die instantly).

    Yesterday I went to the bathroom. Especially at home now I go in all white. A large bug was crawling up the white shirt. I just clicked on him, he flew into the water in the bathroom and died right there. Choked. Showed no signs of life.

    Today I bought an aerosol with alpha-cypermethrin from ticks. I read on the net that it will also go away from bedbugs. I'll buy some more in the next few days. Now not at home. Well, nervously, of course, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with a flashlight lying next to my pillow. A candle nearby - and crawling.

    Yes, it's annoying. But! It was much more unpleasant when I was infected with a scabies mite. I was totally hysterical. He's almost invisible! You have to smear yourself with a smelly ointment to get it out. Oh…

    Or the fleas that lived in my room after I picked up a street puppy. Fleas with the onset of cold weather disappeared. Didn't even poison them.

    All in all, a new experience! Bah, it will work. The main thing is not to hysteria!

      Here you go. I got rid of the bedbugs. In about a couple of months. Aerosols from ticks containing alpha-cypermethrin and a steam generator helped. Two aerosols were enough for me.

      Bed bugs love carpets and fabric surfaces. They lay their eggs NEAR THE BED on the side where a person's head is at night. If you drop a bug at the other end of the big room, it will find you. Bedbugs crawl on carbon dioxide, on human breath.

      You need to find where the bugs laid their eggs - treat the eggs with a steam generator. After that, spray with alpha-cypermethrin all over the bed, all over the carpet. Walk for half a day. The stink will disappear. So about 3 times a week. I processed in a ski mask and holding my breath.

    My father is in the hospital and asked to look after his apartment. Well, the guy and I went. We spent the first night, everything is fine, on the third day I wake up - all in blisters. I thought, God forbid, chickenpox. I went home, I didn’t even think about bedbugs - everything at my dad’s house is almost sterile, and the guy doesn’t have a single bite. In general, at home I steamed in the bathroom, all the clothes in the wash. This morning I noticed even more blisters, although already at home. Now, I'm afraid, I examined the whole bed, all the corners - nothing. God forbid, I still brought these creatures with me ...

    This is some kind of horror. We first brought them out with the “Executioner” tool, they were gone for more than a year. Now again they came from nowhere. I'm very squeamish, it's scary to sleep.

    I began to notice that recently my daughter was bitten. We decided to inspect the sofa - we caught 1 beetle. From the photo on the Internet, we realized that it was a bug. Here, now we are guessing, is he alone or wait for more ...

    I am pregnant. I don't sleep at night. One by one - two bugs per night we catch. Sometimes they are not. Neighbors poison, and they come to us ... Here, we are moving soon, I am very afraid, as if not to take a couple of pieces with me. How to be? We transport only our things with my husband, there is no furniture.

    I'm joining you too! Never in my life have I seen or encountered them. We came to Egypt for my husband's work, rented an apartment and woke up with red blisters for 2 weeks. They only bit me. I thought it was allergies or the climate. I counted 36 bites on myself! Didn't see them at all. Accidentally at night I turned on the flashlight on my phone and saw a swarm of bedbugs on my pillow! How vile is that! I scored in Google, here I am, writing to you ... Egypt is a garbage dump, you can’t even call a SES here, dirt and a pigsty. Lord, I still have to live here for half a year ... How can I endure these creatures?

      Judging by the previous comments, it’s not about dirt, but about the very presence of bedbugs. And in hot countries, the climate itself condones their reproduction ...

    Nothing to do with them if they have already settled. They came from a neighbor, she spoke and warned, even offered to poison in advance so that they would not come, but we would not listen. With the company, after two treatments, it almost went to court, as a result, the money was returned, and these creatures do not care, we were devoured. As a result, they threw out upholstered furniture, filled everything with poisons from the Internet. Soon they moved, the new tenants continued this struggle.There is only one conclusion: we need a real karbofos, and pour it without regret. To hell with this stink, you can endure a couple of weeks, but this abomination will leave the house.

    At the beginning of summer, red blisters appeared on my son and me, my eldest daughter and husband had nothing. I thought mosquitoes bite and we have such an allergy. And the doctors said the same. We itch with my son, we just don’t have the strength. Only yesterday morning I saw one bug in my son's blanket, they began to look for their hearth. Mostly they crawl along one wall and a sofa. Lord, this is terrible! The children were sent, sprayed with dichlorvos. Five pieces have already crawled out, I'm just hysterical, I can't sleep. We live in a communal apartment, I have no idea what to do. Either throw everything away, or burn the room. Tell!

    It's just awful! I don’t sleep, and a minute doesn’t pass when I think about them and look around the walls and the sofa. On the arms and legs, the hair is standing on end, and how goosebumps run on the skin, so you want to drown yourself in the bathroom right in your clothes and go to bed there. They were poisoned by various means, but after a short period of time they reappear. Dichlorvos is good, but they just run from it to the walls and all the horror begins. I'm afraid to end up in a madhouse. I didn’t think about them for 30 years, and now, like a schizo, I look around in the room.

    They're fucking everywhere! I don't even know what to do. Sleeping is very scary. Because of these creatures, I suffer from insomnia. We used a lot of poisons, but to no avail. We plan to make repairs throughout the apartment and call professionals. This is complete horror.

    Just nailed five in my bed (in a rented apartment). Crushed, burned, cut. Horror ... I'm sitting on the floor, a bunch of things, I'm thinking what to do. It’s a pity to burn everything, but I don’t want to carry these parasites with me either.

    My story is this. Six months later, red spots and itching began to bother me in a rented apartment. One evening they turned off the light, sat with my husband, then I turn on the light - I noticed bugs on the wall. She began to press, they ran in different directions. That's how we figured out they were bugs. In the morning I started to starve with karbofos, we moved to another room. In the sofa in the seams I found their nest. The whole room was shattered.

    We lived in the bedroom for 8 months, I got pregnant with twins. We moved to the hall. After 4 months, my husband was badly bitten by a bug at night, his whole back was in large blisters with a chicken egg, everything burned. And I will soon give birth, I was looking for an apartment in a panic. But other nights they began to sleep peacefully, as a result, one appeared once a month, as if crawling from somewhere. They stopped paying attention, slept peacefully. I gave birth to kids, we slept in the room, my husband sometimes said that sometimes they bite - he kills. The main thing is that we were not touched))

    Children are 9 months old. She began to notice bites on herself, sounded the alarm. They made repairs in the children's room, stripped and painted everything, but to no avail. Patience came to an end when she fed the child at night, shone a light on the bed - it was hell, stuck around from all sides, both large and small, huge black ones. The time is 12 at night, I am in tears, I raised all my relatives and SES to the ears. We arrived at dinner, I was not sleeping, as a mummy met them. They processed it, they took crazy money. After 2 weeks everything is new. They sent me a remedy for a fee, poisoned myself every 5 days, to no avail.

    We moved to the hall with the children, biting occasionally - once every two weeks. I woke up and pressed. They became so insolent that they bit even during the day, took it off right from their clothes. They fell from the ceiling in front of my eyes.

    We moved to another apartment - a minimum of things, we bought new furniture and appliances. Cribs were processed with a building hair dryer at 650 degrees. Everything that was transferred to the apartment lay on the balcony in the cold for more than a week. Slept peacefully for 4 months. We sleep peacefully even now, but a couple of days ago I noticed that in the evenings, lying on a new sofa, I begin to comb and wind myself up. And yesterday, three bites didn’t even itch, I just saw swollen bumps. She took off the blankets - and in boiling water, and slept on the couch for three nights - no one. Maybe I’m driving, or I still carried it with me ...

    And today I read a lot - supposedly they wake up from hibernation in the spring, and pipets. Yesterday I turned the couch upside down and didn't find anyone. I plan to watch, oversleep the weekend. If the presence of bastards is really confirmed, then on Monday I will call the service. You can’t wait, otherwise bitches will breed. The main thing is to detect and start acting in time. In general, you need to run right away, do not take anything with you, do not spare rags, but feel sorry for yourself and your loved ones in order to be sure that you will not take with you. And then you can sleep peacefully in a new apartment.

      And it’s not a fact that you can’t accidentally carry them on yourself or they won’t be in a new apartment. And then they will come running from the neighbors. Horror, what kind of infection is this, you won’t wish the enemy!
