I’ve been dealing with BB for about two weeks and it’s really impacting my emotional well being. I have cats so I’m limited in pest control services/products but have been using DE, steam heat, heat drying, and bagging. Both my mattress and box spring are in protectors. I’m still getting bites but reminding myself that this takes time. It sounds silly but not having my partner over is a huge disruption to the normalcy of my life and contributes to me feeling inherently dirty (of course they’re supportive and not saying anything like that.) How long after seeing no bugs and having no bites should I wait to have my partner sleep over?
