New here, please tell me if I’m doing this right to get rid of the little guys
Had them since I was a youngin. We moved houses and my mom is one of those people who spirals when they find a bug like this. She never thought to make sure not to bring them to the new house. She also passed that irrational fear onto me. I had a depression room for a while and left my clean laundry on the floor while I went out of town for a month. Came back and saw one on my bed and one on my pillow. I knew I messed up, if they made it that far, they were definitely everywhere. I made a plan. I got gloves (for my own wellbeing and paranoia I know they don’t bite but my brain says I can touch and clean if there is a barrier lol), I bought vacuum sealable bags, and I bought indoor use carpet beetle poison. Washed all my clothes whether it was clean or dirty, wiped down all drawers, and am now storing all unused blankets and clothing into the vacuum sealable bags. I am vacuuming out my closet, mopping with Clorox/water, then hot water, then vinegar/water, then water again, then fabuloso (for scent), more water, and finally spraying the indoor poison in the baseboards and along all cracks and crevices. I washed all bedding and am vacuuming and moving furniture. I plan to vacuum my boxspring and mop everywhere and again spray poison in my bedroom baseboards. I seriously get grossed out beyond reason. Rationally, these things are harmless and there’s really not many. They’re small and hardly noticeable. They cause no harm to me other than making me freak out really bad and feel like my skin is crawling. I got so paranoid one night I thought they would behave like lice and best in my hair 😭. For anyone reading this, THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT nest in your hair. Trust me, I was up until 3 am researching and making sure. I asked my nerd of a boyfriend who knows a lot about bugs and he also assured me they wouldn’t go into my hair. But anyways, please tell me if this should get rid of them. I need them gone. It’s either that or I bug bomb my room and sleep in the living room until further notice .
