I feel like I'm gonna cry and need support
I found the carpet beetle 2 years ago. At that point because I'm depressed and usually okay with bugs I shook it off. This winer-spring I've been dealing with the larve. I've been bagging and washing my stuff because that's the thing I've had access too. I moved down to the couch at the beginning of this (changed out my clothes.) every time I think I'm close I would find new ones
Ive been spraying my room with Adam plus. after that, still on the couch thought I was doing good saw some adult straglers on the couch so Ive been drying that area, using a lint roller and vinegar spray since thats what I have and I have a roommate and a cat so spraying the couch isn't a easy feat right now.
I think I'm at the end of the life cycle where their waking up and trying to escape. I don't think their reproduceing yet but I don't know.
point is, I think I had it, I thought I had been handling it well. I only used clothes I had already washed of bought.
I felt comfortable having a sleepover with my roommate. Yesterday, I wake up come into that room we didn't see them in a row but there were 3 carpet Beatles trying to reach the light of day.
We're hoping their straglers. We're hoping they haven't had larve since my romate doesn't have the red bumps and didn't see any on the mattress itself.
I'm going to be washing their bed sheets and stuff because I want to catch it and I don't want them to go through the hell I'm going through but we both have anxiety and depression that's crippling and they have a boundery that I don't clean up the floor which is absolutely fair because I know where it's from but I know they can get onto carpets.
I'm literally going to cry and it feels like I can't get help or talk to anyone because I'm worried about what they'll assume I did to bring them in which in reality we've narrowed it down to
A. It was something at a thrift store I frequent
Or B. They came in through the walls.
But we are both naturally messy people since we deal with depression and I have no idea how anyone would respond.
That's why I'm reaching out I'm looking for someone whose not a AI human or a Google search who has more experience to tell me if I'm doing this right, to tell me to calm the fuck down because it's almost over or help me know what I'm supposed to do here because I feel like there's nothing I can do at this point and I really REALLY don't want to tell my roommate that. We're literally going to be moving soon to and I don't want to take this issue to our next apartment.
edit: for those wondering about my geographics, I'm in the Idaho area
