They could start by coordinating it instead of just shipping them up there unannounced.

Ok for high school, but not 8th grade.

Yeah Im sure kids are reading worse stuff, but its different if it comes from the school. I know at that age I was reading VC Andrews novels and those things are fucked up.

I remember reading trump started hating them less

Bf is literally leaving for Paris today. I already told him Im not coming to see him right away when he gets back, not until hes sure he didnt bring home any.

I hear diatomaceous earth is effective against them.

Yeah it's Texas, so that has the potential to be very bad. Hopefully that district is mostly blue. I have no idea which areas are which out there

Tldr so yeah

Yeah, a bit too much. It's an exert from Maya Angelou's book 'Gather Together In My Name'. It's typically recommended for college age adults, rather than preteens.

But it was caught before it ever made it to the students, so no biggie?

It's probably too much to spring on some kids that age without warning, or without notifying parents ahead of time so they can review the text.

It actually becomes cheaper to just toss beds, couches, and other furniture out and buy new ones than it is to hire an exterminator.

The problem is that they don't just live in beds. They can be anywhere they can hide, including inside walls, cracks in window frames, bookshelves, and even electronics.

I used to live in an apartment that had them and we dealt with it for about a year. Sometimes there would be a good amount of them (never "infestation" levels like you see in pics, but a dozen or so at worst), other times they'd seem to migrate to another apartment within the building before coming back in numbers again. So I guess we were the only ones diligent about controlling them. Eventually we moved into a house and made a great effort not to move them with us. Bed bug free for 5 years. It really is hell, and we didn't even have it that bad.

Sometimes I'll get a mosquito bite (bed bug bites feel similar to one in my case, except it's usually a cluster of bites) and frantically check my bed and upholstery for those bastards just in case. I remember one night in particular in that old apartment, I went in a circle around my room between about 5 or 6 different spots killing a bug in each spot, and by the time I got around to each spot again there would be a new one to kill in the last one's place. This went on for about an hour until they stopped... well, respawning.

They really are a parasite that has no business being on this planet. They don't do shit for anything.

The way people hype up bed bugs, Im surprised they havent taken over the world by now.

Had them in San Francisco years ago. Cleaning my bed linen on hot did nothing because they'd just hide somewhere else then come back. I'd wake up every morning covered with red spots. Went to a hardware store and got some powdery poison stuff that wiped them out and they didn't come back. Apparently now bedbugs are basically immune to poison and can only be exterminated by paying a company thousands of dollars to put industrial heaters into your house and heat it to over 40C so they all die.
