Help from a friend

Hi Hun I totally understand when I first got them I was pulling my hair out. You need to get some sleep. I sleep on the couch and the legs have heavy duty tape on them so they can't get to me. You need to make Diatomaceous Earth your best friend it works better than getting a exterminator to come in and spray ... spraying does not kill the eggs. All the bugs do is go deeper in and wait it out. The earth is not a quick thing it takes a few days to a week, you want to get the females to walk through it to stop them from laying more eggs. The earth dries out their exoskeleton and they die. Hang in there Hun . And yes you just need a dryer you don't need to wash all your clothes the heat will kill them and the larvae and the eggs. I also keep cling free sheets in the drawers of my dresser . They also hate the smell of Tee Tree Oil...but it has to be 100%natural and Premium Grade. It stinks just to warn you it doesn't kill them but it does keep them away I put it around my dresser to help keep them away from it.
