Zoeyjane’s got panache? Being domestic and stuff.

All clear

Last night, Isobel went to bed with a few rashes all over her back. They looked to be like teensy pimples, clustered tightly together. She also had three bug bites that she woke up with. She had been playing ‘night night’ in my bed. Sound the alarms.

When she got out of bed this morning, the rashes had become huge in diameter, swollen bug bites. Oh, [expletive deleted]. And I had three bug bites on my shoulder. Double oh, [expletive deleted].

But do you know what today was? Apartment inspection day.

And did you know that they have bed bug sniffing dogs? That can find a dead or alive bug or it’s larvae as well at their counterpart can a gram of coke? I didn’t either.

We weren’t here. We didn’t see it go down, but we got the report when we were home.

Not. A. Single. Thing. Found.

They looked in every corner, under all the baseboards, the beds, the toys, the stuffies and not a bed bug was sniffed.

Phew.

Now, does this mean that we have fleas…and should I buy us collars?

They might make your neck itchy.

Are you comfortable just covering the important stuff, bug bombing one afternoon and then airing it out all night?

That totally sucks though. I bet the dogs were retarded.

Or worse, a spider? I would die. Yes, I’d totally get the Raid bomb just in case . . .

fleas bite in a row or cluster. basically they jump and bite, jump and bite and repeat until they’re full.
so it might be fleas.
spiders rarely bite, so i doubt it’s spiders… unless you have a massive nest of them, which i’m certain you would have noticed.

Well, the good news is that fleas are easier than bed bugs to KILL and DESTROY!! And now my butt itches - oh wait, that is from the mosquito that got into my shorts. GAW. Hope you figure out what you need to kill soon…bugs that bite need to die.
