Day 2: Can’t sleep, might as well blog
Pre-pre-treatment photos of my lovely, if infested, apartment… doesn’t it just look so clean and cozy and innocent?
The arsenal (thank you Home Depot and Bed Bath & Beyond). I followed Bedbugger.com FAQs and bought zip cable ties (pretty neon!) but instead of lawn trash bags I bought a 50-ct. box of large blue see-through recycling bags made by Husky (I wanted to get the clear ones but they only came in boxes of 100 and it was too heavy to carry home). If I’m going to be living out of these I need to be able to see what’s in them. I also found the XL Ziploc bags at Home Depot and bought regular gallon and quart Ziploc bags at BB&B. I also bought Swifter mop refills, wet and dry, latex gloves, two Space Bags (which I’m using just as zippered bags to help organize clothes more easily and accessibly, I’m not using the vacuum function), and blue painter’s tape (Scotch brand, 2 in. width). Also got mesh lingerie bags for my delicates, which I’d been meaning to get anyway.
Clothes to toss (I was ruthless):
How much will my dry cleaning bill be? $240? $300?
