Bedbugs, found bedbugs in our daughters bedroom, after she came back from travelling, she's going away for Christmas, and mother in law is coming to stay (in her bedroom) we needed a quick fix, chemical treatment is done over a period of weeks at a time, so we opted for the heat treatment..

£550! Guaranteed to get the job done there and then, but we then decided to get a new bed, because, it's not a nice thought, but anyway, couldn't come at a worse time, Christmas, not only that, but Christmas with the mother in law, this could be my worst Christmas, wish me luck!

I'm all itchy just thinking about it. Good luck! New bed is the way to go. New duvet too, boil wash for sheets etc ... what about the carpet? Aaaaargh! Good luck!

Sorry! But yes, new bedding, they were mainly in the headboard, and we decided to wash and tumble dry all her clothes just in case, also used a vax on the carpet just in case but the guy said they wouldn't be able to survive the heat.
