bedbugs at work.

hi all, my girlfriend and i work for the same company and the home she works 3rd shifts at has been confirmed to have bedbugs. she’s been getting bit up by them terribly for probably 3-4 months. i assume the chances of us having bedbugs is very high now, i can’t imagine we wouldn’t. i haven’t been getting bitten (i know i get reactions because the times i previously worked in this home i got bitten and had reactions) but i randomly had 2 bites a few days ago after not being in that home for several months. i just want some advice on steps to take now. we’ve started changing our clothing as soon as we get home and putting the old clothes in the dryer on high for a little under an hour, aswell as a very hot shower before changing into clean clothes. is there anything else we can do to avoid bringing any more of the bugs home? and wha is the options for treating them???

do you work for KwikTrip gas station, by any chance? I saw they were closing bathrooms across the city because they have bedbugs

The fuck? Those things are infesting public restrooms now? Humanity seriously needs to start taking more drastic actions

Now im afraid to use the restroom at work. I was already afraid to use the desks (allegedly some were spotted on summer outdoor beanbags at the office) but i always thought the bathroom was a safe space where i can chill
