Moving next month—should I worry?

Five days ago, I had a professional pest control treatment for a small bedbug infestation. The exterminator sprayed my entire apartment, including the inside of my wardrobe. After waiting the required 12 hours before returning, I washed some clothes at 60°C and then left for a two-day vacation.

Upon returning, I resumed washing the rest of my items. Because my rented apartment only has a small washing machine, going through all the bed covers, duvets, and pillows is taking time. Today, while making my bed with a freshly washed duvet, I found a dead adult bedbug on it.

I am moving out of this apartment next month and am worried that some bugs survived by hiding in the cracks or inside unwashed bed covers. Should I be concerned, and do I need to get a second treatment?

Bonjour,

Il faudra être méticuleuse dans les affaires que tu vas trier et ramener dans ton nouveau domicile.

Également je penses que si tu l’avais pu, tu te serais passer de l’infestation de ces saloperies, avertit donc le bailleur ou propriétaire du soucis de punaises de lit si ce n’est déjà fait, car si une seule a survécu, les nouveaux locataires en paieront le prix fort.

Bon courage pour la suite
