Question by Sara:
We got bedbugs, I wanna shift, parents don’t agree – Help me please?
Okay so 4 months ago, I had weird red rashes kinda thing on my hand, I went to the pharmacist, and he’s like you’re probably allergic to something, my parents didn’t take it seriously either, then a month ago, we had guests over, and they told us we had bedbugs, really embarrassing but who cares, they were family.. The deal is, I’ve kinda researched about them and I’ve asked people, and they’re like either shift houses, new furniture, new everything. OR put all your furniture, clothes, infact YOUR HOUSE IN SUNLIGHT, now the whole house in sunlight isn’t possible, so I thought of shifting. Parents were like why? Call the pestcontrol people and everythings cool !
We did that, it was alll fine till today.
I woke up to find the pest control people over, they were doing their job. They haveto come every month for a regular “house checkup”
And then the guy tells me to call my mom to show her how many bedbugs they found. I got creeped out all over again, and saw them and almost fainted :S
So I asked my dad if we could shift ASAP and he was like NO =\ and then this whole scene was created and I begged him and he’s like NO SARA ! WE CANNOT !
And then he’s like it’s been wat 2-3 years we’ve been living here. And I reminded him that it’s been 10 years.. And we need to shift ! And my mom too, is all no-no about shifting. She’s like if things don’t change, then we’ll haveto shift in about a year, and I was like WHAAAT, a year? No way ! I can’t live with these vamp-bugs any longer. And then she’s like if your dad agrees anytime soon then (Y) else there’s nothing we can do about it.. And all he had to say was “hmm.. We’ll see”
I can’t just hope sense knocks into him, cz that’s never happening !
*Point of the whole story, I really think shifting would help ! New furniture new everything, no problem, atleast no insect bites and irritation at night ! I can’t even sleep properly at night cz of them 🙁
Help me by giving me ideas on how I can convince them?
And if I’m wrong about shifting, make me feel better on how I haveto live with these creatures for over a year -.-

Apart from being an unpleasant nuisance and their bites often causing an allergic reaction they are not known for spreading disease.

How about contacting pest control?
