It’s hard to know.. but Emma who arrived here a few weeks ago said that she had stayed in a dodgy hostel in OZ and had picked up bed bugs. OK to pick them up.. a completely different thing to bring them to New Zealand!!!
I’ve been finding small bites on my body. They don’t itch particularly but still.. not the best. So I did a reasonable amount of reading on the net and sounds like they’re hard things to get rid of. In fact most guides suggested exterminators. So I found one in ChCh.. and he’s going to come in and zap the place on Tuesday. I *really* hope it works as I just love this house so much it’d be a shame to be driven out by bedbugs! IF indeed that’s what they are. At $180 you’ve gotta hope that the treatment will work. You still have to heat all your duvets etc. as they can harbour eggs etc. I’m not sure my puny drier is up to heating anything to 40C..
I was going to treat you all to a picture of what the bites look like but decided to spare ya’ll :)
Fun and (bloody) games.
