infestation of mice, silverfish and bed bugs
Hi,
Recently I caught 5 mice (2 in one morning, whew!), and every morning I wake up I see new bitemarks on my body from what appear to be bedbugs. I also kill at least 2 silverfishes every day. Can somebody take a look at photo http://pets.webshots.com/photo/26199...03958996xasUzi from my album http://community.webshots.com/album/566190762ndExfj and positively identify the dead insect I found today as a bed bug? I am not 100% sure. My landlord - Capasso Realty who manage properties on Lexington St in Auburndale (Newton), MA have not been responsive. Given that what kind of remediation should I attempt with my limited skills and resources? Best regards, Joan |

Unless infestation is due to your housekeeping habits, he will be ordered to remediate. I know rental costs are insane around there, but I'd say the hell with it and move, carefully sanitizing every object I carried out, and burn the bed and upholstered furniture. Life is too damn short, etc. -- aem sends... |

I am not 100% sure. It is hard to say but it doesn't look like one unless it is a youngster. This is what an adult looks like... http://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/static/...rol/bedbug.jpg And this shows them in various stages. http://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/imag...fe%20cycle.jpg -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
