Follow-up killing of bed bugs

Our bed bug problems are not yet over, although the intensity has gone down. Esther’s room is cleared, Joseph’s bed (upper bunk) is cleared and David’s bed (lower bunk) has some. Samuel’s bed has one or two every now and then, but the worst is our bed, and we get numerous bites every night.

After a few round of poisoning, we moved on to buying a $100 steamer:

This is a typical clothes steamer, used for steam-straightening of clothes, but works well on the bed bugs. You point the steam at them, they breathe the 100°C steam and cooks themselves to death. Cooks even the eggs.
Here you see Grace, Esther and David hunting bed bugs. Nice to see the bugs dropping dead when we apply the steam.

Hopefully, we eradicate the bugs within the next few days.
