I flea bombed my house... so what now?
I moved into a new apartment three weeks ago. After about a week, I woke up with huge and insanely painful bug bites. I instantly freaked out that we had bed bugs. I did a 100% thorough search of my bed and found not a single sign of one. After a week and a half of being eaten alive, my boyfriend finally woke up with a bite. I had thought that I was having an allergic reaction to something but that turned things in another direction. I bought a mattress case, and washed all my bed linens in super hot water and dried them for a long time. When I put them back on the bed, I vacuumed everything and put doubled sided tape all around my bed and where I slept. There was no way for a bed bug to crawl on to me without hitting the tape. The next morning, my boyfriend woke up with around 30 bites all on his right thigh. That made me relax about the bed bugs and freak about fleas. I have a cat who is an indoor cat, and I got out her flea comb and thoroughly checked her and...nothing! She hasn't been scratching, biting, or acting odd. Her bedding all looked clean with no fleas or eggs, but we're being eaten alive! I flea bombed today, and have a pest control guy coming on Friday to look around. What should I do with this apartment now that I have flea bombed? I do not want to wash all my clothes as I have to pay 2.50 a load and we have a lot of clothes. Any suggestions on what the hell could be happening and what I should do next?
