Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Greetings all, how are you people. I am still battling the bed bugs, now I reduced their population by at least 90 percent, this is my 5th week in fighting these bastards.
DE and Bio-D works well in tandem, now I looking at buying steam cleaner as last resort.
Nice. Did you sleep the same bed everyday? That's gonna be excruciating
Yes. My bed is the most heavily fortified with diacotemecous earth, underneath looks like Siberia and sprayed daily. I also inspect the seams every 3-4 days to make sure no bugs hiding. I change the sheets every week too.
In the end it sounds like worth it. Exterminator business is going down after Mark Rober's video lol
The DE takes time though, in my case, the dried up dead bugs only show up after 10 days. Some people claimed 48 hours. I dunno how they can get that kind of results so soon.
Had a flea problem once. Vacuumed then applied a liberal amount of dog parasite (Frontline) spray to and around the bed. These sprays target a wide range of bugs.
