A few years back I remember my cousin bringing them over from her trip to mexico. I had let her sleep on my bed and my life went to hell after she left. They were the toughest little shits to get rid of and honestly the only way I did it was dousing the carpets with tea tree oil and poison everyday and then shampooing/vacuuming the fuck out of it afterward. and I had literally set my bed on fire because it was too far gone. Since they spread fast, we also had to set our couches on fire someplace remote to make sure they'd just fucking die.
I mean we tried a lot of weird shit. I remember we had a really nice comfy bed so we wanted to try to salvage it in any way we could. We wrapped it in plastic and put a few bug bombs in there and tightly packed it, left it in the sun (was during the summer, in a heat wave) and still those fuckers survived. No idea how, I mean that bed at the point was a fluffy poison cloud of hell.
It's like they their once small community had tripled in size in under a week. I don't know if there's certain types of bedbugs, but these were mexican super bedbugs or some shit. We had doused our curtains with lavender oil, put poison around the threshold of the doors in each room, bomb the fuck out of the place, put all our pillows, blankets, and clothes on high heat in several different laundromat dryers. It was incredibly expensive to get rid of this infestation.
Eventually their community dwindled and I hadn't had to deal with a bite or nip ever again from a bedbug. Although it really sucks having to worry when at a hotel that you'll possibly bring them back home again, so like anon said in
