          Interesting point about new clothing from china: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/bedbugs.asp

          It says to throw new stuff into the dryer for 20 minutes. Don't put these with other clothes until you've done that. Now I think they should have suggested going to a laundromat so you don't even have a chance to invite these critters home with you.

            Along with a couple sprayings from this

            Wasn't there an account some years ago of somebody who set off several foggers in the house and went away for a few hours? The house blew up.

            Then there was a story a month or two ago where a man went to a gasoline station to fill his tank. There was a spider crawling around the gas cap. So he got out his lighter to kill the spider. He wound up setting the car on fire. See pictures at https://thedaleygator.wordpress.com/...el-door-video/

              Maybe his bottle said inflammable and he figurated that meant not flammable.

              I'm always still in trouble again

                That's why they turn off pilot lights and the such in homes that are going to be fogged by exterminators.

                  It's also why it's good to have electronic ignition on our stoves and heaters instead of pilot lights.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      Best thing to kill bedbugs is Diatomceous earth. Non poisonous to humans. Also good for ants, roaches etc.

                        But be careful with pets, especially cats. It isn't good for anything's tummy - people just don't lick themselves enough to be at risk.

                            Diatomaceous Earth is in fact edible. It is in lots of food. It used to be used to be an ingredient in cheap ice milk*. It is supposedly harmless for mammals.

                            *Does ice milk even exist any longer? I have not seen or heard of it since I moved out of my parents home. A sorry substitute for real food.
                            Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                              A 1994 change in United States Food and Drug Administration rules allowed ice milk to be labeled as low-fat ice cream in the United States

                                They're going to be busy sprinkling that stuff for a while. Takes time to get all those critters.
