So I’m not sure what other people’s experience with Bedbugs are, but i just wanted to put this out, there’s this biopesticide called Aprehend that actually works. It has to be put on with a special sprayer that costs like $500 but ya boy juice knows everything about paint sprayers, and found a $60 airbrush to put it on with.
I couldn’t get completely rid of them for years. I can’t tell you how many steam treatments, and treatments with temprid (which is good) I had done over the years…but they always came back. I threw out all the furniture, I bought new beds, everything. My house is only like 2 years old and they were in the fucking walls.
One treatment of Aprehend and a week later they were done. The product was expensive but for like $300 I was done with bedbugs and had enough product to treat 5 houses. They are a trauma. If anyone is struggling with them DM me and I’ll tell you what I’ve learned
No mandarin offered though
I got called out for saying this once. At first I was like “what’s racist about rice” but when I googled it everything that came up was an explicitly anti-asian meme.
So yeah the word is being used in the west as a racist term so non Asians should reconsider whether using the term helps or hurts their relationships with others within the communities we frequent. I think vigilance is better than ambivalence.
