BED BUGS!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I HAVE BedBugs

First of all I’m a clean person. My apt is clean, well tidy and gets cleaned often.
I went to the island a month ago and upon my return I have been bitten 14 different times in 4 weeks.
ENOUGH ALREADY!

I’ve researched the hell out of this and have done everything so far I can, aside from using sprays in my apt.

There is nothing in my bed, box spring; I’ve taped up any holes (the one in the spare room where the ferret entered)

I slept on the couch last night and woke to 3 new areas of my body being eaten.
So it’s in the couch. I’m heading out at lunch to pick up some ecofriendly sprays that came suggested from Bedbuggers.com
I’ve read forums etc, and it turns out bedbugs is an issue in Vancouver… WTF

They don’t cause or carry diseases, but 1% have been reported to have carried a type of hepitis.
GREAT! Although they can live in their hiding spots up to 92 days without feeding… and we thought cockroaches would be the longest living thing on the planet!

So this weekend is a bust, I’m going to being doing laundry, laundry, and oh wait, MORE FRIGGIN LAUNDRY! Spraying down all baseboards, cracks, couches, bed, and the underside of anything that is fabric in my apt.

They don’t hurt, until you actually start scratching, and they are just unsightly to see on your body.
I’ve been fortunate enough that anywhere they have bit me; I can cover up with clothing and reach myself with a lot of calamine lotion.

Update to follow on this topic after my visit back to the island.
